What works for me, and I have made 400 - 500 quilts of different sizes.
I lay a border strip In the center of quilt top, up & down for side borders. I gently smooth it down, mark and cut on this line. I lay other side border strip on table and gently smooth it out, lay 1st strip on top, gently smooth, mark, cut on that line. I fold sides in half put in straight pin, fold ends to center pin on each side. I pin quilt top the same. match up pins, hold at pins making sure the edges stay together then sew borders on top of quilt edge. After those are sewn on and pressed I make the end borders the same. Absolutely smooth borders, no math or stuff. I square up blocks as I go.
Of course, typing this out takes much longer than doing it. I am sure there are youtube videos showing how to do this. I am sure Lynette Jensen has this in her books. I used her books to learn a lot of things from.
