Your OBW turned out terrific, btw!! I really like the backing brought around with the flange.
I'm currently considering leaving the long sides as they are, in the sort of zig zag. I can't convince myself that cutting off the points is a good idea for me.
I've done both - left the sides zigzagged and cut them off, but I've bordered all of mine so I didn't have a zagged edge to bind. If you are going to border a zigzagged edge, cut the triangle filler pieces and sew them in when you sew your rows together. Otherwise you will have to set them in the Y seam
