Do you add borders to the side first or the top?

For regular straight borders, sides first, then top & bottom.

Unless there is something directional in the fabric that I'm trying to take advantage of that won't work if the sides go on first.

Doesn't matter if it is a square quilt. If it is a rectangle, the longest sides first.
