Everything I get for quilts, gets washed, usually by hand in warm water so I can judge if I'm going to have any bleeding and I can address the issue immediately. I haven't had a washer and dryer for some time so it's become a habit to hand wash everything, but at least I know after it's been dried and pressed, nothing is going to shrink.

Two thoughts: first, I'd get it damp again and block it to see if that takes care of issues. If not then the other thought I had was perhaps the binding got pulled a little while attaching and it's pulling in the corner.
