Hi, I am currently working on a Lynne Hagmeier and Jenny Doan quilt, "Twirls and Swirls".

I want to add 2 borders, one thin (2" teal) and a (5 1/2") outside one. My question is, I went to measure to find out how long to make the inner first border, and my top is not perfectly square. The measurements are 58 3/4", 57 3/4", 58 3/4", and 58 1/2".
What measurement do I use? The smallest, the longest, or an average of all 4. If I do the latter, none of the lengths will be true and all 4 sides will have to be "eased" in.
OR, should I trim the top to 57 3/4" all the way around, since there is a little "play" at the outer edge of the top?
Thanks in advance, and here's a picture, because I know a lot of (us) like to see pictures!!
