https://leahday.com/pages/prepare-quilt-for-binding What is a self binding quilt? It's where you bind the quilt edges with the backing fabric! Learn how to measure, cut, fold, and stitch the backing fabric as binding in this video. This method is faster than traditional binding because we don't have to cut and sew extra binding strips.

A few notes about this method:
This is NOT a mitered binding technique. The corners have a squared-off, overlapped finished and you do have to take a few stitches by hand in order to turn the corners neatly and securely.
