There are many different ways to attach binding.

Here is a YouTube video that does a good job of explaining how to machine sew a relatively invisible binding (especially if you use invisible thread, but that's a subject for another post!). The creator of the video hand sews bindings only for quilts that will be in a show.

Oops! Sorry, didn't see the second page of posts until mine came up.

That is a beautiful quilt!

That's very attractive and your binding looks good.

Instead of overlapping the backing for a binding, I've also made the border wider and envelope it onto the back for kind of an invisible binding. I haven't tried actual "binding" yet but probably will soon. Its always just been much easier to self-bind. That is what my mom always did. Maybe its an area or traditional thing.
