combine straight border with the last border having a mitered corner?
I have a quilt that I would like to do the last border and miter it because it has stripes. Is this one of the cardinal rules not to do? The other two borders were done with straight borders.

No reason you can't miter this last one separately from the already completed borders. I agree, a stripe fabric looks best done with a miter. The only cardinal rule I know about mitering borders is that if you are going to do ALL of them that way they should be sewn together first then mitered as one unit.
