My first question is: Why do binding in the first place? If you have a nice flannel backing, why not just fold it to the front and hem it down? That's the way I was taught when I was a teenager. Never heard of binding until after I retired and started taking quilting classes. Half the quilts I make I have hemmed instead of binding it. If I use a nice thick backing fabric like a good flannel, fleece or minkee I will hem it. There are several methods out there for reducing the bulk at the corners when doing this.
As I told Iris Girl, this us what in thought I might do, but didn't have enough extra Fabric.... Double gold good flannel is just too thick.
