quarter-round

Ninety-degree curved molding

Quarter-round is a molding with a cross-section forming a quarter of a circle.

It's commonly used in woodworking and interior finishing to cover gaps where walls meet floors or to soften edges: We installed quarter-round along the baseboards.

The term also describes anything with that curved profile.
