Boarders cut

I almost always cut the border pieces themselves across the width of the fabric. I never have (or want to buy) enough fabric to cut them lengthwise. I've never had a problem so far doing it this way.

I've so far joined most of my borders on the bias. I like how it guides the eye along and past the seam.

I generally join my borders with straight cuts. Never did a bias cut on them, not sure what the benefit would be if you measure right. I plan to cut my next one off the yardage lengthwise before I make the top. Wanna see how that feels different.
