Tumbler Quilt Question
I just completed my first tumbler quilt. Question is, if I am not adding a border, do I quilt it edge to edge and then square up and rim off the jagged edge ( 1/2 tumbler) to get a straight edge, or should I cut off the 1/2 tumbler to make the straight edge prior to quilting. Or is it just personal preference. What am I not thinking about?
Ideas, opinions please.
Thanks!

it is a personal choice- but quilting first then trimming is the simplest way to go...and you do not have to worry about cutting the quilting stitches- as long as you are machine quilting it- they will be enclosed with the binding- and secured again.
