I occaisionally miter corners, if the fabric seems to require it. Other wise, I don't. On my last quilt, I mitered the two inner borders together as one was a stripe, and did the outer border square.

I went to a huge quilt show today,,and catching up on reading this post tonite....ya know....there were about 150 quilts and display and I was so busy looking at the beauty of them, I don't remember looking at one binding. Never noticed if they were straight or mitred. Go figure!!

I've never mitered a corner before - it just never occurred to me that it was a possibility. Unfortunately I'm going to have to attempt it soon as I made one of those french braid table runners and wanted to put a border on it. I'm really, really dreading it especially since there's some angles that aren't 45 degrees. =/
