Default Birthing or binding
Love your quilt. I always like binding on a quilt.

I agree with the advice to look at the Ankas Treasures tutorial. I followed it when binding a table runner that had four odd-angle corners, and they look good.

Beautiful!!! Love the colors. I think it would look the best with a binding. I find it hard to keep things flat after birthing, my edges are always wavy.
