I have a 60 inch cutting table so I line my 24 inch ruler along a seam if I can and trim all the way around. Usually I have a seam from the borders that I can easily follow if not I will add another ruler to help me achieve the width I want to cut.

No one ever told me I was suppose to *square up* my quilt at the end. At the end when I'm trimming you can see that the quilt has shifted and nothing seems completely straight anymore.
