I've done it-don't love it, but it's really personal choice.

I have done it on quilts before and it worked great. They have held up just fine too.

I do it all the time. Usually on items that aren't going to get a lot of handling or washing like wall hangings and table toppers.
There are no quilt police. Go for it.

I do this all the time. It works great for me.

I do it all the time, either to the front or if it works out better to the back. I especially like it for usuable quilts and kids quilts as the edge is a lot softer and you do not add weight.

Great idea saves time but for me not as nice looking. I've done it on small qults

Self binding has worked very well for me. It is easy and if the backing coordinates with the top, why not?

Yes, many of my quilts have been done that way and they look great and it is a very easy way to bind them, but it usually has to be planned for (at least several inches of extra backing beyond the quilt's edge) -- experts recommend that the "binding" should be handsewn, not on the machine -- go for it, girl!
