I would imagine that squaring up could be a nightmare, if it wasn't squared several times along the way. Maybe I should make something that doesn't involve points along the edge.

If you are using the on point setting you can make the outside corner and side triangles larger than needed. The quilt will float within and you will have room to trim. When doing one like this, I like to use a flange binding if I use the same fabric as the outside triangle that acts like a border. Doesn't take much, 1/8 to 1/4 in. flange.
