As I have been doing a lot of binding trying to finish up Quilty Hugs. I have three more I'm trying to finish this week. I thought I would share again my method for joining up binding so that it fits perfectly every time. Hope you find it useful.
Leaving a 6" tail begin sewing binding on. Continue sewing binding around quilt. Leave a 10-12" gap between the beginning of the binding and the end.
Finger bind until ends meet. Fold eachside back on th itself. Leaving a 1/2" space in between.
Trim ends so that from the 1/2" gap they are half of the width of your binding. (ie.. 1 1/4" if binding is 2 1/2")
Sew a diagonal seam to join binding ends.
Trim to 1/4" 
Wha la your binding fits perfectly. 
Sew into place. You are now ready to turn and hand stitch in place.
