My original thought was to miter the corners on the striped borders. That plan actually worked out quite well on three corners, but no matter how I tried to manipulate, fudge, or convince the stripes line up, I just couldn't get them to match on the fourth corner. Enter the seam ripper and plan B...I cut bias squares to put in each corner instead. The bias squares aren't quite the same as mitered corners, but they sure were a whole lot easier!

What a pretty quilt! I think it looks good with the stripes in the corners like that! :0)
That is a great alternative for the mitered corners. It looks so pretty.
I think your Plan B is VERY effective! Lovely quilt . . .
I like it, but I love striped borders. Sometimes we have to go to plan b, but that looks just as nice!
Those corners are much more interesting than mitered ones. They make the quilt come alive!
Well done! Creative thinking to the rescue!
