My quilting "bible"--the book I bought to teach myself to quilt--is *Quilting for People Who Still Don't Have Time to Quilt*. It instilled many many good habits in me, but one of the things she said was that we only have so many mitered borders within us, so use them wisely! That was liberating as a rank beginner because I was scared of mitered borders but now I love them deeply. I guess I have a *lot* of mitered borders within me!
