Can't understand going to the trouble of piecing a quilt then just slapping on the borders. I'm not the Quilt Police but some things we are taught for a reason. My BFF use to just cut, sew and trim. I suggested she measure but she said "it'll be okay", and it was until the day her borders started to stretch. She now measures.
I fold the border fabric in half then bring each end in to the middle crease do the same with the quilt. I don't have problems with my borders. I'd rather take a little time and measure than unsew.
