I've been doing this for years. I saw the laser in DH's shop and thought Oh Boy it's perfect. I claimed it. Not as simple as it looks though. If quilt is almost square to begin with it works great. If it is off a lot then you may lose a lot of border or have to cut a block and then it looks wonky.

Or, you could use it to square it up first, then trim it!

​It looks like a nice way to square up if I owned a laser square. Since I don’t, I will just continue on using my rulers and big square ruler in the corners.

Still if off a lot then you lose a lot. Been there too many times. LOL I tried squaring each block and then each row and said forget that. I'm not that much of a perfectionist and don't care to be one. The laser does impress my non quilting friends though.
