Usually you would only use one long length of fabric, I am not sure how to do it using 4 pieces. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you to do it this way. There are a couple of tutorials here on the board regarding this, maybe that might help you too :wink:

Do 45 degree angles and it will look very professional. Thanks, GiGi

I'm confused, the tutorial was for binding, I thought the question was for the border?

My vote is for the mitered as well.

Glennis,
At the top where the points meet that looks great but along the side, I would do the seam straight out...keep the long side of your quilt straight...
then go in to the mitered top...
Hope this helps.

Woudn't it be easier to treat those angles the same way you would a mitered binding? Only use a single thickness of fabric? I am not seeing it as a square quilt, am I wrong?

Glennis: I made a similar table runner. I found it looked much better to do it the way you have it pictured in picture 013 (the left side). The ends look funny if they are such short pieces. Just my humble opinion. :-) :-)

I vote for the one on the left, is that not what you are asking? It looks better with that piece coming down to a point instead of going up, to me at least.
