Anyone remember this way of quilting?

We always called "birthing a quilt" when top, batting and backing were basted together and ready to be quilted.

I do this on quilts for the kids and then machine quilt them on my long arm, I like the edge as is and don't trim or bind it. Great for baby or kid quilts. Even did a scalloped edge double wedding ring. I don't baste but do pin to keep the batting from shifting to the bottom.

I complete baby quilts for my quilt guild in this manner to avoid time consuming binding. It works well and I machine quilt usually straight line or stitch in the ditch. I have also used on king or queen size without any difficulty except the wear and tear on your arms wrestling all that fabric around. Lol
