EXCELLENT! I decided to do one border at a time since I've never mitered anything yet and don't want to practice on someone else's quilt! Thank you!

I like to sew mine on one border at a time, unless doing a mitered corner.
Mitered corners scare the dickens out of me, but I did one recently that turned out great so I have more confidence for the next time. The border had three borders (solid, print, solid) and I loved the look with it mitered. I set it up, pressed it and looked at it for several days before I got the courage to sew it. In the end, it was much ado about nothing since it went together very easily.

Ditto this. If you sew them together first and don't miter them they look really different. I wish I could tell you what it looks like, but it is a visual thing. If you are not mitering them, sew them on one at a time.
