A homeowner in Tacoma said my quarter-round looked 'pinched' at the corners

They pointed out how the miter joints were closing up too tight, leaving a tiny gap at the top. I was using my usual 45-degree cuts on everything. Now I always back-cut the miters by about 2 degrees on quarter-round, especially on older baseboards that aren't perfectly straight. Anyone else adjust their angle for trim like that?

Ugh, I've had that same problem with my own trim work...
