Yes, many of my quilts have been done that way and they look great and it is a very easy way to bind them, but it usually has to be planned for (at least several inches of extra backing beyond the quilt's edge) -- experts recommend that the "binding" should be handsewn, not on the machine -- go for it, girl!
