Since I did not read all pages I hope I am not repeating information that someone else might have already given, but, am I nuts or did you not say Borders!? Eleanor Burns has I think personally the best and easiest way to do the mitered border. If you go on her media theater you will be able to find a quilt that she does there and adds the mitered border, if I remember correctly it does require maybe 8-12 inches of extra fabric but it is quite easy. Hope you can find the technique and don't give up. :thumbup:
