If you mean the 90-deg corner w/ a 45-deg angle taken a little off, it's
to provide some clearance in use so the interior corner doesn't have to
be completely perfect for the two faces to fit flush...otherwise, any
little bump in the corner will hold it out.

If you're meaning the profile isn't circular, what you were looking at
was shoe mould, not quarter-round. *Shoe mould is what is typically used
for floor at baseboard (hence "shoe").

It is 1/4 round, not shoe mold (mould? never can keep straight which
one is black and smelly and which one is wood!).

Guess I can see trimming the inside corner at 45 to avoid the wall/
floor seam, but I would have thought the baseboard would have covered
up most of the imperfections already.
