Here’s a peek at the first mitered corner on my current WIP (work-in-progress):
The inner border finishes at 1/2 inch and the second one at one inch. The inch-wide border is one of several pieces I have in my stash of “Spin Dot,” a lovely blender by Timeless Treasures Fabrics. It’s from the same line as the royal blue blender I used in the corner and side triangles (as well as the 12 inner blocks you can see in this post from Feb. 23).
You may not be able to see from the photo above that the blue border is lightly metallic. Normally I would have chosen a bolder fabric but nothing in my stash seemed just right and I felt that the pearlized effect would complement the luminous light blues in the focus fabric.
My first mitered corner went together beautifully. Let us hope the remaining three do as well!
Mitered corners are so regal! Looking forward to seeing the other three!
Oh my goodness, I could only dream about such a perfect corner with beautiful fabrics!

Mitered corners are your unique signature! I have a plethora of your creations that contain mitered corners that are truly beautiful and things of such beauty. You make it look so easy, but I really know the skill it takes to be so consistently precise. You truly are our family gem. 🙂
This quilt is going to be exquisite when you have finished it. Your perfectly mitered corners will be the icing on the cake so to speak. Just amazing.
As usual, Dawn, your fabric combinations are beautiful! And your mitered corner is perfection! Do you ever do tutorials on how to miter corners?
Thank you, Linda! I’ve been meaning for years to write a post about mitered corners. I need to move it to the top of my list.
