You could do this two or three different ways. For four poster beds, the corners are left out totally, so the quilt is kind of a cross shape. The basic pattern of the quilt covers the top of the bee. When on the bed, the corners just kind of fall along the vertical bed corner. Another is to round off the corner. Still another that I have done is to take a cut on the corner, usually only on part of last border, that is 45 degrees to each side. It's as if the quilt were set on point, but you left off the corner triangles that you would add to "square off" the on point set.
