I have a 60 inch cutting table so I line my 24 inch ruler along a seam if I can and trim all the way around. Usually I have a seam from the borders that I can easily follow if not I will add another ruler to help me achieve the width I want to cut.

Tartan- Doesn't that make your borders look off?
I took a quilting class. That's where I learned to quilt. The only thing they had us do was lay the quilt out and then trim 1/4" over the border for the binding. No one ever told me I was suppose to *square up* my quilt at the end. At the end when I'm trimming you can see that the quilt has shifted and nothing seems completely straight anymore. |

I trim using my borders as a guide. For example, I line my ruler up with the seam where the border has been sewn to the quilt top, then trim the width of the border all around...making sure each corner is an accurate 90 degrees.
