I quilt a lot for my church group. The amount of quilting I do varies: brand new fabric. expertly pieced top more intricate, one of our many scrap quilts quick all over, child's quilt whatever I think will make it wear well. Sometimes I have binding already done, sometimes I make binding from leftover backing and use that. I try to trim as many threads as I can find, but the quilts then are handed off to someone who handstitches the binding to the back and trims threads. Fortunately haven't run into zombies ..yet! The more you do, the less you should fuss but I know what you mean it can take away the enjoyment. Yes, I too have raided my stash and on the whole, I think I'd rather be piecing but the quilting is fun too.
