It's a beautiful quilt, franie. The idea of miters for this one just boggles my mind. No need - as you know. Another thing newbies might want to take note of is: Do not measure the edges of your quilt for borders. Measure through the centers! You can always ease in a bit of stretchiness and get everything nice and square. I mark centers and quarters - eighths if I need to - and ends to make sure that any easing I need to do is evened out.
