Before you buy scissors for the job, there is a rotary cutter that is specifically designed to cut chenille strips without cutting through the entire quilt. It has a cutting shield under the blade that you insert between the layers. It might be worth a look?

I just line up the corners by eye - it looks OK to me.

Just eyeballing corner to corner works for me but you could gently fold and press an X prior to sewing - just sew down the fold and not have to worry about washing out any markings.

I made a few rag quilts & started with doing an X on the blocks.Ended up making a free motion heart in the centers.No one noticed because they're scrunchy blocks :D
BTW...a pair of spring loaded scissors makes a diff. Got mine at Joanns with 50% off.

Does anybody have a link for this? I finished my first rag quilt last night. I really enjoyed doing it, but I really disliked the cutting part.
