The little pin tucks are on the back where the border attaches to the quilt. You can't tell by looking at the front.

I sewed all the way around the outside edge of the border like bearisgray suggested.

Then I sewed the binding on like in the Sharon Schamber tutorial.

When I turned it, I used lots of pins and stitched it from the back.

After that I went to the front and put 1/4" tan zigzag all the way around where border meets quilt.

Then I put a honeycomb stitch where the binding strip meets the border.

Thanks everyone for your tips and tricks. My quilt is completely done, washed and ready to give away. It turned out far better than I dreamed-I'm really thrilled with how it turned out.

I have to finish the pillow sham and two matching pillows and downsize a queen sized dust ruffle.

I was thinking of doing piping around the edge of the pillows

I make my own piping by crocheting a tight thick chain stitch out of regular yarn and sewing fabric around that.
