I am just about finished on my husbands quilt I was all excited about doing this for his..he said Carolyn I want a binding....Arugh...I should have never told him and just did it. Oh will...I will do it in my next one that I am making which is the core quilt. I think it is going to be my worst quilt ever....its hard to line up the seams...I have never sewn curves before. Its a challenge...My seam ripper is handy. I gave up though when I sewed the long strips together.

I do this for some of my baby quilts.

Yes, it works for baby quilts. Use that method for all table runners, place mats etc.

I did a twin size snowball pattern for my great grand son and then I tied it. My grandmother did that most of the time.

When I began quilting I didn't know how to do a binding so I did all my quilts this way and for a quick and easy quilt still do....I have done up to Queen size and I put 3 inch strips a faux border all the way around the top. When I turn inside out I then do stitch in ditch within the quilt design and then around the faux border....then just hand sew my opening at the base.

Yes & it works great. Do just like the table runners. It is a fast way of getting a small quilt done.
