That's what I do too.

I am sorry to hear you don't like binding as I love it, there is something satisfying and therapeutic about framing your finished quilt and know that is finally finished.

The ladies have posted some terrific links for binding, and because I was asked I posted my own way to do a mitred corner, maybe someone may find it useful. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...ome-and-garden (Don't take any note of the piece I was binding it was a scrap piece of quilting)

I went to the first website you posted ankastreasures..wow that was easy and I bookmarked it so I can go back and read it before I do the binding on the quilt I am working on. Thanks for sharing.
