how to cut quarter round to meet in 3 right axes

You know when you see the representation of the x, y, z axes for Cartesian
co-ordinate system. You can make the symbol with your fingers, like you're
at a heavy metal concert. I need to make quarter round meet on the inside
of a closet. The trim goes up the inside laying vertically on the 90°
corners, and the same trim also meets going laying horizontally both leftto
right and front to back. To trim out the top square of whiteboard, which is
the ceiling of the closet, and the peg board, the three sides. I know how
to cut a 90° corner from the same trim to do the back of a closet, but how
to put a third piece "normal" to those. Can you cut all 3 at an equal
angle, or do you have to cope one(s) into the other(s)?
p.s. The quarter round isn't just plain quarter round. I made my own. I
took a 3/8" beading bit to 1/2" x 1/2" plain quarter round, for a little
more class. Leaves a 1/16" lip. More or less the same idea.
Cope it. First piece cut square and installed tight. Second piece,
cut the trim on a 45, then cut off all of the mitered face with a
jigsaw - undercut it a little, install. Third piece, cut the trim on
45s both ways, jigsaw (noun made into a verb, sue me) off the mitered
faces - you'll be left with a little tongue that comes to a point,
install.
