Procrastinating....

nice flowers! Don't suppose you have enough backing to wrap to the front & bind or how about a fancy machine stitch on the back to attach the binding - might lessen the 'cheating the recipient' guilt.
Glad it's you & not me - I had little ambition to bind a simple placemat the other day!

Alas....no backing to fold over. I haven't tried that technique yet.
I will admit, the first couple quilts I did I took scissors and just cut around the quilt top to trim off the batting. I have since done it with a ruler and a rotary cutter, and I just LOVE the crisp clean look of a freshly rotary trimmed quilt after the quilting is done.

If your quilt is for a child or someone who really would not care how you did the binding, sewing it is a really fast way to go. If you need instruction on how to do it, look on the internet. I'm sure there are instructions; might even be on youtube. Good luck.
