    That sounds like the best solution, Ditter. I have had this happen, too, and just struggled to get it as good as I could. Next time I'll trim and re-attach. That's a much better idea.

    Dear amma, never would I think you would be doing anything but laughing with me!!
    I guess I really have been lucky that none of my bindings had this corner problem before today. Especially since I never gave it a single thought. LOL.
    I love having all of you to learn from, and with. Even more I love having you to laugh with!!
    Hugs and smiles, wildlinda

    Odd angles you just do the same. Just turn the corner the same way, making the fold line up with the corner you are turning. I don't know how to explain it, but just try it a couple of ways and you'll see that it works.

    Here's a tutorial for binding odd angles:

    I think every quilt I've done has had one corner at a seam binding join. You do enough of them and it becomes easy--and expected. By the time I get to the binding I'm ready to take my chances and hope I get lucky--not very. :)

    Probably most of us have learned the hard way!! I, too, roughly lay my binding around the quilt and adjust my beginning point to avoid binding seams at the corners.

    I'm so glad you asked this. I have done that too. You helped get my unasked question answered.

    if that happens to me and it has I go back about 12 or 18 inches from the corner and cut my binding and reattach so I do not have the seam in the corner. Yes it takes a couple extra minutes but we aren't in that big of a rush are we?

    I just read through a lot of the answers to your post and see you posted you are making the quilt for a sick child - I'm sorry I said no need to rush - in this case there was a reason for the rush! Hope the little one has good luck with his treatment.
