Do you square up your quilt before or after it's quilted?

Thank you. :-P

I square up at each step along the way. That way the final quilt is easier to square.I square it before I layer for quilting. The last squaring up I do after the quilting.

Only for my big ones, after is quilted I wash it, block it on the carpet until is dry and then square it.

You wash it before putting on the binding?

I usually square up as I go along.

I square up each stitched section of the quilt block. Then square up the finished quilt block. Then when I piece the blocks into rows it is already squared up.

I square up as I go, but after you quilt it usually is all distorted so you have to square before binding.
