Do what works best for you Jamie, and don't give a second thought about the way other quilters do theirs. I often use Butterfly's method of just making the back larger and making this into a binding. It's perfectly good for family type quilts, baby quilts, tv quilts. If you plan on doing show quality then of course the binding will have to be done in a more traditional manner. But, quilting should make you happy, not stressed, so do what works best for you. :)
