Does anyone bind their quilt by bringing the backing material to the front?

I do this very often, at least for my "drag-about" quilts.

I have done this on baby quilts, but I really prefer using a separate binding.

occasionally I'll do it. It's what the older ladies in my community call hemming a quilt verses binding one.

There are always different ways to do everything, choose what works for you and what makes you happy.

Could someone please tell me what it means to "Birth a Quilt".
I have birthed babies but cannot understand the comparison.
Thank you in advance. Gleniveve

I usually do it if I don't have enough fabric left for binding but I recently backed a dog quilt with a fleece dog blanket and that looked really nice folded over to the front.
