I decided to make this mitered corner using the HST sashing method. I am very pleased the way it came out. Since this border had many thin stripes I decided that is would be easier to do it this way (yes more seams) but the actual fabric area was much smaller making it easier to match my stripes. My border was 10 1/2" wide so i cut my square to 12" to allow for matching the stripe. I carefully matched strip amd made sure the seam was in the correct direction before I sewed. The HQT came out perfect and then I just sewed them on the border using the usual procedure. I know that my striped do not match perfectly on the border ends but at least the corners match and when it is quilted you will not see the seams. This quilt finished 86 x98 so this method was easier then flipping all that fabric around and also IMHO less stressful. I will keep this method in mind for use adding mutiple borders in strips/sew together.
