Default Prairie Points and corners of the quilt - help

I'm making a baby quilt with Prairie Points for the first time. I read various instructions on how to do them and they all say to trim the four corners after sewing on the points, then turn the points outward, press and then turn under the backing (already quilted onto the quilt). But when I get to the corners, because I trimmed off the tips of each corner of the top and batting as instructed, there's not really anything to turn under to sew the binding onto when I get to the corners. The fabric is very short on the corners and I'm having a devil of a time turning the top fabric under in order to hand sew the backing down in the corners.

I'm doing the best I can with blind stitching very closely on the corners in order to catch all the loose threads from these cut off corners. Is it better to really not cut off the corners? And how do you handle the corners when attaching Prairie Points?

The quilt is turning out really cute but I don't like the problems the corners have give me.
