you guys have my little grey cells burbling.

This idea made my stomach hurt. But it did make me start thinking. Thank you

My friend sent her quilt to a longarmer one time and she cut off the scallops!! My friend had worked so hard to get the scallops the right size for the size of the quilt. She cried when it came back.

While I did my yoga your thought popped another thought in my mind. I did a reverse scallop on my DJ quilt.
I wouldn't be losing any size, I wouldn't be 're-doing' anything. I wouldn't be wasting the binding already cut because it still wouldn't need bias binding.
And the points on the quilt side would show and the cutoff outside would be covered over.
I'm going up to take off the binding already sewn. And sweat bullets that I have some reproduction that is big enough to do at least a 3" reverse scallop. I am not buying fabric...picture that all in caps
thank you again for all the suggestions. And I don't think the quilter and I have ever talked trimming. They all have come home, perfect and ready for binding with a full seam allowance, just like I sent them to her.
