sew to the right side of the quilt, bring to back and pin and hand stitch on the back...
if you absotively hate hand sewing, just pin and machine stitch...

does not have to be on the bias and the double layer makes it last a little longer :)
i do it this way but i stitch it to the back. bring the fold to the fron and machine stitch with a decorative stitch. A blanket stitch looks nice.
