My mother always used the backing as binding. In fact I didn't know there was any other way to bind a quilt until a few years ago. I think it is very easy, but on my next quilt I am going to use some binding out of extra fabric from one of my borders.

Some cut the backing bigger than their quilt and then fold that piece in half up against the top. Fold it once more up onto the quilt top and then sew the edge to the top. Probably clear as mud, right?
