I think advice from quilterpurpledog is very good. I would also make the seam allowance a little bit bigger like 3/8" to help stabilize ...I have never had to patch but have had cases where the fabric was a little shorter than the batting and have been able to fix with a larger seam...this only works if it is a very small amount missing. Good luck. I would not fuss too much if going to remain at home....probably not many people will see it and if you don't tell hubby...he will probably not know the difference.

My honest opinion is that DH will never know the difference if the quilt is not exactly square, so I would do neither. Just shave off that bit of batting and bind the quilt. If you are more of a perfectionist, then I see nothing wrong with adding a little fabric to that edge and then bind. I definitely would not trim the entire side, because that would be more noticeable.
Oops...just noticed you'd already patched. Good job.
