I rarely miter the corners on my quilts.
I knew a Mennonite and she got me hooked on making quilts.
She didn't miter her corners. She said it's worldly and a waste of fabric, and they try not to waste anything. That made sense to me.
So to this day I don't miter unless someone requests it.
Am I the minority? Do you always miter your corners?

personal choice.

Depends on the pattern/design.

Agree.
It changes the look, so whatever you want for that particular quilt.
Just like every other aspect of the quilt - artistic expression.

I don't miter all my borders. depends on how much fabric i have on some of the quilts and if i want to go to the trouble on others. it's a nice look though.

Some fabrics need to be mitered, most don't. Unless it's a specific fabric, I don't miter.
