Can't seem to get the corners in this border right.

Hi Folks. Good evening. I do not know whether it's an optical illusion on my part but my corners surely do not look right. I am attempting to create a border just like the attached png image. First I create a rectangle then use a circle duplicate it four times then did a difference at each corner. I then duplicated the same rectangle reduced the duplicate by .25" height & length, then do a difference on the first rectangle to get the border. However it don't look right. Please advise whether I left out an important step, over look something or is simply approaching the construction on the border wrongly. Have a good weekend.

Hi.

Try to use the align and distribute panel to position quarter circles for the shape.

Looks like the inner corners are nearly the same radius as the outer corners. The radius of the inner corners should be .25 greater than the outers.

I presume they are supposed to be circular arcs...

Thank you very much for the help. The quarter circles worked out just fine.
