Happy Tuesday!
I normally like to cut my borders on the lengthwise grain because then it is not as stretchy as the crosswise grain. But I didn’t do it in this case. I was running out of fabric so I cut the best I could to fit the fabric.
When I did the yellow (border #1) and white (border #2) borders, I forgot to measure along the center of the quilt. Instead I measured the edge. Now I’ve got a bit of ruffling and it won’t lay flat. By the time I got to the blue (border #3), I remembered and I had to do a lot of pinning. I am hoping it fixes itself as I finish up the remaining 6 borders and whatever is left quilts out. It’s probably a fool’s wish but I’m not ripping out. I’m just going to live with whatever happens. 🙂

If the uneven borders bother you, you may be able to straighten them up with your quilting. I hope you manage to fix it; like you I wouldn’t unpick those seams either!
Thanks Marly! I’m hoping it will quilt out! 🙂
the quilt is striking
Thanks Maggie! 🙂
The quilt is very striking. I really like the colors. Hopefully the border work itself out with the quilting. I wouldn’t want to seam rip either!
Thanks Amanda! 🙂
Steam is your friend. =) With such narrow borders, it will probably work out.
Thanks Susan! I’m hoping it will! 🙂
Keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out well! Lovely quilt whatever happens to the border. Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday.
Thanks Nicky! 🙂
I love the colours. It’s very eye catching!
Thanks Naomi! 🙂
it’s so pretty and cheery that no one will notice the ruffles, except for you
Thanks!
