    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.

    I do it all the time. I have put on separate binding twice and I absolutely hate the method. I will continue to bring the back over to the front.

    I don't do it because I really like the look of putting on a separate binding and I like to sew it down in the back. Fun for me!

    The Amish do this for their quilts, but will do yours as you want.

    Sometimes I do it, and think it looks good
