I do this almost all of the time. After is secure it (frequently Elmer's school glue) I do ditch stitching around all of the squares. Then I trim it and bind it because I know that it is not going to shift on me because of the glue and the stitching. It is very much easier to handle as I quilt without all that excess stuff around the edges. Never had a problem. I am one who ties knots and buries threads.

OK, here are the photos. I added the second row of quilting on the plain blocks after binding the quilt.

Ok I have been machine quilting for 20 yrs. I often quilt just enough to hold the quilt together then put the binding on before finishing the quilting. That gets all the excess out of the way. All is done own my Bernina 1130
