This discussion has been so interesting and helpful. My piecing has gotten better with practice and my last 3 quilts
have been square or made square until the borders. I have measured, pinned at the half and quarter points, sewed
with the border on top and use my accufed foot and still the border would be 1/4 to 1/2 inch too short. So I cut the strips about an inch longer and then cut off the excess. I would love to be able to give my LAQ a square quilt and I will continue to try and try to get the borders to work but at least my off square is no more than 1/4 inch (still too much, I know).
