Try measuring across the middle and easing in where needed to make it fit.
I always heard that's what needed to be done but naturally I had to learn the hard way. lol
This is an extremely important point. Wavy borders make it very difficult to quilt. Take those middle measurements. Remove (I know-horrors!) the wavy border(s) and re-attach with the newer smaller measurements.
You've learned a very important technique. Your quilt top is very pretty and deserves great borders.
