I do sometimes, especially on charity quilts. It's faster. I think it's called self binding? If the backing coordinates well with the quilt it looks just fine. Also it's easy to mitre the corners.

I've done it on potholders, and since I'm thinking of making a "Mug Rug" one of these days, I'll probably bind it in this fashion rather than doing the binding seperate - should be much quicker that way.

I LOVE that quote.

Sometimes. It diepends on the project. I've mostly done this with wall hangings/baby quilts.

That is the only way that I do my quilts. I also tie mine as the people I make mine for do not want any sewing on the top to take away from the fluffines of the quilt. they want it to be comfy and cuddly. It is to be used and not humg on a wall. See my avatar.
