Mine are usually pretty close.

I square up my quilts after quilting, before binding. Often the quilting process causes a little wonkiness so I fix that before stitching on the binding. I square as I go during construction keeping everything as straight as possible so it loads evenly for quilting too.

I am lucky enough to have a big dining room table that I put my great big cutting mat on and square up one corner at a time and then connect the squared corners. This work well enough for me. I should add that I only do this after they are quilted and before I put the binding on, so I am squaring up the three layers. Most of them square up pretty well and as for the others, well, that is their choice!!!

I do my best to keep them square while on the LA frame - and so far it's worked well for me.
|
I usually square up blocks as I ago, maybe not always, depends on the blocks. I always square up the quilt after I quilt it and before applying the binding. Much like stitchenripper said.
|
I too square up each block as I make it and find that my tops end up pretty square when done, I square them up before and after quilting regardless of size, but I don't stress over 1/4 of an in or less.
|
I square each unit as I go because I know that misalignment just increases the problems the farther you go. When I get to the edge I am especially careful to square the corners and work toward the centers from there. I rarely have a problem at that stage of things.
|
Yes, I do. I try to keep everything trimmed to size as I go along, so the final square up isn't too difficult.
|
I square up as I go as well. Honestly don't know that I've ever squared an entire quilt - either before or after quilting. When I fold them for gifting, they seem pretty square to me.

I sort of square. I square up as I go, so it's usually pretty close. I have the big 20 1/5" square up ruler. I do the corners, then use my 6' ruler to join the corners. The 6' ruler is one of my best investments. $12 at Lowe's.
