If it's a quilt for my kids, I generally use backing fabric and pull over to top and stitch to top as binding (easy-peasy and fairly bullet proof)... Any thoughts?

I've done 3 on the machine and thus far prefer to machine stitch to the top and then hand stitch to the back as I can miter the corners better that way. Most of my quilting friends do NOT hand sew anything and do it all on the machine and theirs do look nice. I'd say it's personal preference and where your own talent tends to lie.
