Your corners look great. I agree miters are not as bad as they look to be but I still find them a challenge.

I, too, am a self-taught mitered multiple border quilter. They ARE easier than you fret over! I've taught them to people in about 5 minutes many times.

Yours is particularly wonderful with all the 'seams properly butting to each other. Nice!!

I also like doing mitered corners and they are fairly easy once you've done one. Just takes more material.

Well done! Sometimes I scream silently to myself when someone uses a directional fabric as a border but does not miter the borders. It's one of my pet peeves

I love mitered corners AND have done them. Once you watch some of the videos and find one you are most comfortable doing, it isn't that hard. Just tasks the brain a bit. Aren't they just beautiful with a directional print like yours? Gorgeous, good job.
