    On non-show quilts I use my largest square ruler - my June Taylor shapecut, on the corners. If it's slightly off, I adjust it so the difference is split across the two sides (ie: if it's out 1/4" on one side and 1/8" on the other, I just eyeball it to between the two on both sides). Once the corners are done, I add the 24" ruler up against the square ruler to make a long edge from the corner. I work this way from both corners and meet in the middle.

    Thanks to Prism 99 for your instructions. Twice I've tried to ease the border fabric and have always had it come out to short and had to rip. Think I may be sewing too fast. Will try again as I'm getting ready to finish a lap quilt...put it aside because I didn't want to deal with the borders.
