It was when I was using a scrappy binding like you are describing , Stitchnripper that I realized it was going to be impossible to avoid a binding seam at the corners. Since then i realized that it doesn’t matter if that happens. I can still mitre the corner satisfactorily so I don’t spend the time auditioning the binding before I sew it on to the quilt.
