Macy Baby, that is a sweet, little quilt. When I was a little girl, I was totally horse crazy. I would have loved a quilt like that! I think that I get what you are saying...sew binding on FIRST, then trim and quilt. Do I have that right?

"I have done some with points though and for those, to avoid covering the points up with the binding, I will put a very thin border on that matches whatever I decide is the "background"; I'll cut it to about 1-1/2" before putting it on, and then once it's on I trim it down to 1/2" and THAT is what the binding overlaps."

Sewnoma, I was thinking of doing that; just adding a skinny border and using that to attach your binding to. My points would be nice and sharp, provided I didn't mess them up when adding the border.
