That sounds pretty good. :-D What I was going to try is using a tearaway stabilizer instead of tape. Iron it on over the crease, sew, and tear it away. I think a strip of stabilizer folded and creased in the middle lengthwise so there is a crease down the middle to line up on the miter crease will help it fold over easily.

Please try the tape, I think you will find you don't need
anything else, but don't use blue tape as it does not stick
as well. If I can do this, an experienced and talented quilter like yourself should have NO problems.

The idea that the tape gave me was to use fusible web. I tried it tonight and it worked good.
I did the first parts the same... lay out the corner of the quilt and border, make sure it's all square, then fold under the top border and iron the 45 degree angle. I sprayed a TINY bit of starch on it to make that folded edge sharp.

Turn the ironed edge back and place fusible underneath it away from the seam allowance and iron it on

remove the paper, lay the top border down and press to fuse. I pinned it for security

I don't think I can get a miter any more perfect than this
