Actually, that is exactly what I did.

I ripped 1 piece of trim to exactly fit the width of the wall and cut a =
45 degree joint.

I cut the other piece to go to the adjoining wall and then cut off only =
enough of the 45 on it to permit the vertical trim piece to properly =
join.

To my inexperienced eye, the result seems quite pleasing.

BTB I am using 2 1/2" oak trim.
