Hey Joe,

It's pretty normal to have to square up a quilt after you "build" it.
My steps are:

1. Pre-wash
2. Starch
3. Press
4. Cut
5. Re-cut several pieces I mis-cut, usually requiring me to press again
6. Piece
7. Thread the machine
8. Piece
9. Load a full bobbin
10. Really Piece this time
11. press
12. Rip the stitches, fix all the seams where I "oopsed"
13. Press and cut more pieces where I went through with the seam ripper
14. press
15. go stand outside for a few minutes, when I overheat due to pressing
16. stitch the new pieces into the quilt
17. press
18. install borders
19. press
20. sandwich (or load on the frame)
21. quilt
22. pull the huge bird's nest
23. put the presser foot down
24. quilt stitches I'll keep this time
25. square the quilt
26. bind the quilt
27. Wash the quilt
28. Fix any "oopses" I didn't spot before
29. Have a nap and or adult beverage depending on the number of repeats on steps 5, 12, 13, and 22.
