I would square it up. Making a bias binding and sewing it on is more than I would want to deal with. If kids may use it those points would be an easy spot to get ripped if they pulled on it to much.

If the squares were larger I would say to keep the serrated edges, but with those tiny squares binding it would be a real pain in the ...everywhere. So, I will say square it up and quilt it lightly. If you over quilt it you may stretch it. Those knits are hard to work with but very much worth it. She did a great job matching her corners. is it machine pieced?

I was going to suggest either would work, depends how much work you want to put in it. I have made 2 with another cut and ready to piece. --- After reading some of the posts and thinking about the points I now suggest to square it up. Because it is knit those points will curl and not finish flat without a lot of effort. Also be aware that some will be on a bias. Make sure the binding is equal and not streached.
