Yes & it works great. Do just like the table runners. It is a fast way of getting a small quilt done.

I always call that "turn and topstitch" because of using it in apparel and purse construction :)

I have done that with many quilts, all sizes and another thing I do is round the corners so I don't have to worry about points when I turn them. Eleanor Burns does it all the time on her program, or she did years ago.

Yes, I have done this many times. This is how you
make a comforter. You can use two layers of
polyester batting to make it extra fluffy and warm.
King sized comforters are easily made this way.

If you have a serger for the edge...it lays flat...But even with reg sewing I've never had a problem with that....
