Default Painting caused fabric to spread....

My fabric started out 45 x 45.
We painted a background on it, using Lumiere fabric paint. I heat fixed it and now when I measure it, it measures 45x45 at the bottom where there is little paint, but 45x47 at the top where the paint is more intense. The fabric obviously stretched along the edges.
I'm going to have to square it and I'm wondering what the best way is to take off the extra fabric?
All off of one side? Or am I going to have to take off the same on both sides to keep it running with the grain? Or does that matter?
Is this quilt going to hang straight after I do all this?
