Dunster is absolutely correct AGAIN !! Good going girl !! If your quilt isn't square, then the borders may be wavy no matter how you cut your border. What was mentioned above does work ONLY if you are off a bit. I have had customers that their quilts were off MORE than an inch in different locations on their quilts. Also I have noticed that photos of even table runners don't lay flat because they are so heavily quilted. Let the beauty of your piecing outshine any quilting that you do. Quilting should compliment the quilt top, not compete. Just my opinion.
