Default What am I doing wrong????

I've finished quilting a T-shirt quilt on my longarm and have a discrepancy in the border measurement. How can this happen when the borders are measured, cut precisely, pinned into place before being sewn on; the top is basted in place on the quilting frame, but when I finished quilting, took the quilt off the frame, and went to square it up, I ended up with almost a 3/8 to 1/2 inch gap on one side for about 8 inches along one side. To resolve the problem, I can cut away another 1/2 inch of border on each side before I add the binding, but I'd like to avoid this issue next time. Any ideas or advice is appreciated!
