Thanks everyone for the helpful ideas. I watched that great video mentioned by PaperPrincess and, thankfully, these borders aren't anywhere near that wavy. What she did on that quilt was amazing. There are 3 borders: 2, 4 and 6" so I really don't want to tear all of them off (but that's probably what it needs) and because she's such a sweetheart I don't want to call her up to come get it and redo the whole thing so I think I will go with the piano key/beadboarding idea. Wish me luck and I'll let you all know how it turns out. I like Crashnquilt's idea of an additional piece of batting too. Not sure if I need it this time, but I'll remember it for next time.
