I usually cut my borders about 6 inches too long, lay them RST flat on the quilt, and pin every few inches from the middle to the ends, never from top to bottom. At least that way I'm close....

Tell the quilt police to take a hike and do it your own way!
The OP asked a question and people were answering it. That's what people on this board do - help and encourage each other . . . and answer questions.
