Removing borders

Removing borders
I made a quilt for my son and daughter-in-law a few years ago. It was extensively pieced and a California King size, quite large. I did a small border of solid beige fabric about 2 inches and then added a second border 4 inches and then the binding. The small solid beige border fabric was purchased at a quilt shop. I am very upset because this fabric is shredding and I don't know how to repair this quilt. It is just this fabric that is shredding. I guess I will have to cut the borders off and replace them with a new border and then quilt the borders. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks so much for any ideas.

Never tried anything like this before, I wonder if it would be possible to cut away any of the shredded border and cut a border to fit over this one, iron the seam allowance under and kind of applique it over the old one...just a thought. I would just top stitch it onto the old one then maybe quilt it with something that blends in. I hope you get the perfect answer from one of our quilting experts.
