Winnie Fleming covers this topic in her Finishing Techniques (or a title real close to that) class on craftsy. She explains in detail how to cut the border fabrics (and why). It is a class I have referred to for other topics and I plan to use her method when I get to work with a miter.
Good luck - your block is beautiful.

It took me a minute to see the one miter. If I weren't putting it in a show, I wouldn't bother to fix it... but since you asked:

Jinny says the block doesn't need to be perfectly square. The trick is to line up the center of your border strip with the exact center of the block & then mark the 1/4" points on both your border & block. It looks like you may have needed to ease in a bit of the block in that section in order for your points to match up.

A demo at our guild meeting for mitering corners of a quilt might work. You sew on your borders, stop exactly 1/4 inch from the corner. Then you iron your your miter and make sure your seams line up. Place a piece of painters tape over it to hold it all in place. Then you flip it over and sew exactly on your crease. Hope this makes sense.
Your block is gorgeous.
