(birthing it) After birthing I usually sew another seam around the quilt close to the edge, just to give it a finished look. Great for hangings, table mats, other small items.
I've done this method tons with baby blankets, where I come from we call it "quick turn" but it's the same thing: layer of batting, both of your fabrics right sides together, stitch around the edges leaving a hole, quick turn or birth, stitch around the edge and quilt as desired. Holds up very well and no binding.
