There's a picture on page 8 of borders that are not mitered.

I've only mitered once, only because I wanted the pattern on the boarders to match.

Trisha; I do that also. Learned it from Elenor Burns on "Quilt in a Day."

Me, too. What's the alternative to mitering?
This is a close up of the borders on a wall hanging I'm making. The border seams show up better on something un-quilted in pictures. These borders are not mitered. They're sewn with straight seams.
I do all mine this way now a lot easier and quicker, but I do miter the binding.

I haven't ever learned how to miter corners, but I have a wall hanging I've made and I want to put put mitered corners on it, so I guess I better figure out how.
