what do you mean by turning a quilt? I think I know, but can you do this with a large quilt? thanks...

Turning = put right sides together (with batting on the wrong side of either front or back), sew most of the way around edge, turn. I haven't done it with a large piece, have a friend who's done it often with lap/throw size quilts (usually backed with fleece and no batting). I haven't tried it. I can see it working pretty well with a firm-ish batting.

I would say just keep the binding on for now, you may be perfectly fine when you quilt it. Many times I have sewn the binding on lap or baby quilts, then quilting the border, so I imagine the same is true with what you have done. Who knows maybe you have come up with a terrific way to speed up the quilting phase of making a quilt.

Ido this all the time. I'm allergic to many of the batting and I always put the binding on first. That way the batting is sealed in and doesn't bother me as much. Don't you love it? A quilter who's allergic to batting and some fabric dyes!
So don't rip, trust me, it can be quilted after the binding is on. Good luck.

See This Quilt...I did the binding on it first. I wanted as little bulk as possible to shove through the machine so I did the binding first. Worked just fine.
