When you do more than one border, would you prefer to do mitred or just the norm, and why?

Also when doing more than one if mitred, do you join them first before attaching, or attach one at a time as you go?

I'm about to start on the borders of a queen size quilt, it has 3 and I'm just a little unsure which way to go, so looking forward to your input.

Thanks heaps for your help. :-D

When there's multiple borders I like to sew all the strips together and miter the corners as if it's one border.

I don't miter, except for the binding.

Maride

Sew the strips together and then miter. Otherwise is a pain to match them.

can we see the quilt?

Another one of those "it depends on . . . " questions

Sadiemae

Another question is, What is the intended use for the quilt? i.e. Are you going to submit it to a show?

Crlyn

Yep sure can see, but not until it's finished :-D it's a bargello.

bearsgray, what do you mean "it depends on?"

DebinNY

That's a great idea! Have not heard of it before but will definately try it next time. Thanks...

Crlyn

No, it will be put to good use, not that that makes any difference to me, because I still like to do my quilts to the best of my ability. :D

Some quilts seem to tell me the borders need to be mitred :D
I sew the strips together and mitre all at once :D:D:D
