Are you saying to bring the underside edge of the quilt fabric over the top side of the quilt and binding to the top? I actually have done it when I was running short on material and I liked the added flavor.
The only issue I remember is turning the corners because I haven't perfected that art yet. I just pinned, looked, liked or didn't like and repeated the process until I liked.
Can't wait to see pictures, please.
On this baby blanket I folded the topside over and binded it to the back. Your idea would be the flopside but I think it would be pretty.

the only time i don't bring the backing fabric to the front as binding is if it wouldn't also look good as a traditional binding.
i make sure to fold it double before bringing it to the front, just as i would traditional binding.

Unless I do traditional binding, I sew the double fold to the back, pull it to the front and use a decorative stitch on my machine to sew it down. By using a decorative stitch, it is not as noticeable if the seam line isn't perfectly straight. MUCH faster!
