Do you trim the corners before moving on?

I trim dog ears, square up at each step, snip away loose threads, iron... All nice and neat before I move on. A freind asked my how come the back on my top was so neat, and this is why. I'd rather do it as I go than have to tidy it up when I'm done. By that point, I'm generally ready to have a project out of my hands and don't want to take the time to neaten it.

I sew my HSTs oversize so I trim mine on all sides which makes them uniform in size and square. Much easier to assemble.
