The woman who taught me to quilt advised that if the borders have to be pieced to make sure the seams were on opposite ends of the quilt (not straight across the quilt from each other)as this would make them less obvious.

I have been quilting for 40 years and have always made straight seems on my borders or sashings when they need to be really long. A diagonal seam would mean you are cutting on the bias, which means you are going to have stretch. I can't see where this would be good or beneficial for borders.
