Does anyone bind their quilt by bringing the backing material to the front?

Haven't done it on a quilt yet, but just did a placemat (tried some straight line quilting last night) and used a take off on this pattern http://www.thequiltcompany.com/SUPERSIMPLEPLACEMATS.pdf
Very similar to this posting on the QB http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-60160-1.htm. Worked like a charm. You could make any size binding you want using this method.

I do it sometimes when I'm quilting my own. I trim the backing so I have ~3" more all around, then fold it to 1.5" then fold it again to bring it over the top of the quilt to give it a little more strength.
