I was doing a google search for something and on one of the irrelevant pages I found a reference to Caterpillar Binding (which I had never heard of) so checked it out. I thought it a cute option and thought I would share.
There is an explanation here:

and one with pictures here:

Have any of you ever done this? If so how did you like the results? I noticed reading the instructions that one is done on the straight of grain and the other on the bias. Which do you think would ravel the best? Ann in TN

Very interesting technique. Wonder how it would look on a rag quilt?

This is new to me too. Thanks for sharing.

interesting

I would think that the bias binding would fray better. I have not tried it but it does look interesting.

Very interesting technique. Thanks for sharing.

That would look great!

interesting, but I doubt I will ever do it. especially NOT on a childs quilt. A- for a baby it is a choking hazard and B- kids quilts get washed a lot, won't take long for that binding to fray off!

Definitely interesting. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to cut through the beautiful binding I had just sewn :) I agree that the bias binding would fray better
