I recently tried the backing as binding was not happy with the result,could be I need to practice it on something smaller becauce my neighbor does it all the time and looks great and seems to hold up quite well. But I will probably do the seperate binding,like the look better for me.

The binding, I find, is the first thing to fray on a quilt because it takes so much punishment. I also have tried to fold it over the finished product but have been dissatisfied because it doesn't last that long. If I want to use backing fabric, I usually buy a little extra of the fabric and make my own binding putting it on as usual.
