Do you use a longarm to quilt or hire a LAQ? If the answere is no, then it really doesn't make any difference unless you show. But if you do this and try to LA it is darn near impossible to LA the quilt without having to put a pleat in one or more of the borders.
I probably do have an out of square quilt. I don't square mine. The quilts I make are not going into a show. I quilt my own. But I have to tell you that when I am done with my quilt and am folding it up, I'm not seeing any issues with them not being square. I haven't noticed that one side is longer or shorter than the other or that the edges don't fold up neatly together. I must just be lucky and the quilts aren't too wonky.
