I have use a contrasting bias binding and it works and looks great. If the fabric is plain, I usually try to make an appliqued figure that I place in one corner that matches the binding. I use rounded corners to make things even easier.

I pin two layers together, stitch all around 4inches from the edge using a walking zig-zag stitch, then stitch second stitching about 1/2 inch from first stitching. (helps if stretches ) then cut about 3/8 to 1/2 in wide strips from edges of fleece using both layers -forms a fringe. Be sure and cut out a 4" block on corners first and save to serge into a block quilt for donation centers. So easy and no need to finish any edges as fleece does not ravel . I have made many of them using that method. Using the walking zig-zag stitch is.
so easy

They make a 45 mm blade for some rotary cutters just for this purpose. The blade looks like it has teeth.
