If you decide to chop them off be sure to leave 1/4" for seam allowance. In other words, dont cut them smack in half!

I made a queen sized Grandmother's Flower Garden and just bound around all the points. Takes lots more binding, but looks great. I would use the brown like youe inside fabric anf go around. Good luck.

You will lose much of the beauty of the item if you chop off the points. Use facing as Tartan suggests. It is easy and looks great.

Facing also makes the edge lay nice and flat.

I don't have any suggestions either...sounds like you got some great ones from the talented ladies here.

I just wanted to say too...I LOVE the colors and the design of your quilt.

GOOD LUCK!!! I'll be anxious to see a picture when you finish it.

Absolutely beautiful quilt! I'm sure one of the binding methods suggested here will appeal to you.

The last quilt I put an extra row all around and chopped off those points so I didn't lose too much of the pattern. Hope that gives you some ideas :)
Stunning quilt and colors!
I would do another row of brown around the outside of the quilt, then trim the points off and bind the quilt with the brown. They use to do the binding on each side. That is such a pain to navigate ALL THOSE POINTS. As the old saying goes" KEEP IT SIMPLE". GOOD LUCK !! :-)
