If I have a lot of strip piecing in the quilt, I don't cut off those borders first. I work with the width as is (so all my strips come out just about the same size - it would be nice if 45" wide meanth 45" wide...) and buy the extra yardage for the length of the border (plus a little fudge room). To me, it's not a waste, it's "stash enhancing". :D
