backing/binding
#31
That is how I originally learned to do binding. I prefer the look of a separate binding now, but still use this method on occasion. After folding it to the front and pinning, I would use a zig zag or decorative stitch for added interest.

I have made several Downy Quilts for Kids using this method as that is the one they recommend and they also recommend that it be sewn with a zig zag stitch to prevent it from getting caught on tubes, wires, etc. These quilts are laundered very frequently so I am sure this method makes a durable binding for general purposes. Not every quilt is a show quilt and who cares what the quilt police say anyway? :)
