Toogie: Thanks for sharing the methods your grandmother and the other member from QOV used to “self” face using extra backing pulled to the front. There is a poster on QuiltingBoards who posted a tutorial for “self” facing by pulling extra fabric from the front to the back:
Here are the steps to binding my quilts
The method the pattern I am using suggests is to add a 2” strip of fabric to the front, then pulling it to the back and hand stitching it down on the back. The result is that there is no visible binding on the front and this no frame.
