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

Done it several times and it turns out nicely.

I always call that "turn and topstitch" because of using it in apparel and purse construction :)

I have done that with many quilts, all sizes and another thing I do is round the corners so I don't have to worry about points when I turn them. Eleanor Burns does it all the time on her program, or she did years ago.

Yes, I have done this many times. This is how you
make a comforter. You can use two layers of
polyester batting to make it extra fluffy and warm.
King sized comforters are easily made this way.

If you have a serger for the edge...it lays flat...But even with reg sewing I've never had a problem with that....

As you can tell I am very new to sewing...too funny I never thought of this before.

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! I've even done it on large sized quilts.

I do it for the hospital quilts sometimes. It is called the pillowcase turn.
