I had a couple of requests for a tutorial on mitered corners. I haven't done a tutorial before so hopefully this will work. I did want to mention that when putting several blocks together in my flower quilt with shadow box borders I kept the darker color on the top & left side & the lighter color on the bottom & rt side. It doesn't matter which side you choose as long as you are consistent throughout the quilt so that you get the shadow effect. Also I tried to keep most of my flowers going up (although there is no right or wrong way to do that...It's just what I chose to do). So I had to watch the direction I wanted my flowers to be before adding the shadow box borders. Hope this works

Wonderful, thank u very much

thanks for posting that, another lesson learned!! By the way, I loved that quilt!

Your instructions are clear and to the point. Just as good as your block! Thank you.

Thank you Pam, very clear instructions

That's great. Thanks so much.

You are all very welcome!!
:D

That was great. Can you do one that shows squaring a block as that is the one thing I have problems with? Thanks for the lesson. Cathie

Great directions thanks.

How cool. Thank You

On my shadow boxed block I used a 12.5" plastic square ruler & I needed my unfinished shadow boxed block to measure 12.5". I just had to make sure that I wasn't trimming one side of my strips more that another. You just have to center your square ruler on your block (best as possible) & make sure the corners of your shadow boxed square line up with the corners of the square ruler (again, best as possible). I didn't find mitered corners especially easy to do & I had to re-do about 3 of my blocks that I had trouble matching up the mitered points. That's why it's very important to make sure the flower block is the right size & squared with 90 deg angles before adding the shadow box borders. Hope this helps. :D

Thanks

Beautiful tut! Thanks.

wow, thanks for the tutorial!

My word exactly, THANKS! :D

Thank you so much for making this tutorial for us :D:D:D

This was very good with all the pictures. Thanks so much!

Great tute! Thanks!!

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I'm Bookmarking this one!

This seems to be a more exact way than what I do which is just folding and pressing. Nothing never turned out so I just did not miter things. But with your tut, now I can see what needs to be done. Thank you so much.

Pam, that was very nice of you to make the tutorial. Thank you. Barbara

Great thank you very much , I was looking for this

LOVE this idea with the shadow box.
