Default Inserting skinny border without mitering?

I want to add a skinny stop border to a quilt....like 1/2" finished. Is there a way to sew the skinny fabric strips to the 4" border strips and attach to quilt without mitering the corners? If I just sew the strips as usual, the skinny border strips will "cut off" the flow of the large border in the corners...am I making sense?? I need to finish this quilt for 92 yr old FIL who is moving to assisted living tomorrow, and I am afraid I don't have enough border fabric left to miter the corners...and I had to order the fabric online, so it will take too long to order additional fabric. I deviated from my original plan....when will I learn to order MORE than I need??
