Why miter the borders?

I mitre if it fits in with the pattern. I do like to do corner stones in the borders instead of a mitre.

I think the quilt pattern, border fabrics determine weather you miter or not. the place where I think you should always miter is if you are piecing the border in order to get the length you need. hardly shows with a miter--sticks out like a sore thumb if you straight seam the join.
