When I come to the corner, I pay attention to how the first part of the binding is folded. On this binding, the outer fold is from the bottom side, so I want the outer fold on the front of the quilt to be from the right side.

I fold the bottom binding up first, then try to make sure the edge that's folded up goes straight to the right. Then I lay my seam ripper or stiletto against the quilt and fold the right side over against the seam ripper. I can usually get a pretty join with a nice 45* angle by doing this. I hold the corner and sew slowly until I get to the place where I need to pivot. I stop with the needle down, lift the pressed foot, and turn the quilt 90*.

This pic is from the side so you can see where I stopped to pivot.

Here is one showing where I'm ready to start sewing again.

In this shot I've made it all the way around the quilt and am almost back to the starting point.
