Your quilt is very pretty and I hope the wedding couple enjoys it. Recently I was in a binding class and the instructor said unless you were going to enter competition, there isn't any need to sew the corners down. From your pictures your quilt looks sturdy.

A friend entered a quilt in the Mid Atlantic quilt Show in Hampton Va. last week. ( it was a beautiful traditional civil war quilt) She was shot down for not stitching the little corner binding seams down, I didn't even know this was an option.
