Default Adding multiple small borders

I have the main part of the quilt done and am now adding borders, which will be about 5. The first set is a 1" black, 6" gray and a 1" black, followed by a 6" red and the last TBD. When adding that many borders, is it easier to do them as a group? I mean by sewing the borders together in a strip set and then adding to quilt (mitering the corners)? If you plan on mitering the corners, how do you measure to get the right length? Borders are definitely not my best skill in making a quilt, but am getting better There is a recent post that has great tips, but still a bit uneasy adding so many borders. TIA, Rose
