I thought I finished this project yesterday but after taking a photograph I decided it needed a border. I had enough of the background fabric to do a small border; I didn’t want it to grow too large. Pat thought it needed a dark flange to add some interest but I didn’t have anything in this particular fabric line. So I decided I would go with a single white border.

I’ve done quite a few mitred borders but they aren’t alway successful. Some of the mitres just don’t come together the way they should and, in some cases, the fabric I’m using either doesn’t work well with a mitre or I get the mitre done successfully and it doesn’t even show.

As I pondered this question it dawned on me that by adding a small block to the corners of the binding I would add some interest and I wouldn’t need to decide about mitres.
