Maybe hoochy corners are like cattywompus or askew or not laying flat.

I just found the cutest pattern on allpeoplequilt.com for a "Spring Flowers Wall Hanging" that was inspired by Mary Lou Weidman's design "It's a Riot" and it features hoochy corners. The pattern directions explain how to use this technique. Check it out here:
