Good morning all, I have done this and IMHO it works great. Sometimes I will use binding strip. So I have done it both ways. Depends of the print. BrendaK

I do this at times.

We do all of our Community Quilts this way. We figure by the time the binding wears out, the quilt will be worn out too.

I have done this a few times. Depends on the quilt

I do that a lot

My MIL does it all the time with her quilts. I do a version of the technique with QAYG quilts, but my personal preference is to use a separate binding...I just like the way it looks.

I do this quite often, especially if I love the backing. I also trim to the 2 or so inches and double over before binding.

not my quilts...only table runners, tree skirts, place mats, wall hangings, and such!

A church quilting group that I used to sew with did this on charity quilts. It is a thrifty/utilitarian way of binding quilts. It does hold up well.

I've used this method. On my grandsons' quilt, has held up good.
