2 1/2 in binding sewn to the back, pressed seam, then turn and clip down with those red clips. This way I can see my back seam so I can sew my front seam on top of it.

I just saw a tip from wendy sheppherd at ivory spring, she does a zigzag stitch all around the quilt (after squaring the quilt) and before she puts the binding on. She says it has made a big difference in her binding being smooth. I'm going to try it with my next binding!
