Instead of binding a rag quilt, you can add a border with the same layering as the quilt, stitch a half inch from the outside edge and clip to the stitching the same as the rest of the quilt. It will rag when washed the same as the rest of the quilt. Here is one I did for Christmas this year. They are fast and fun to do.
