I am making a quilt that has 3 borders to it.

My problem is the body of the quilt (the jacob's ladder blocks) ended up 56 3/4 inches instead of 56 1/2 inches (I downsized my blocks so it is smaller than the bake shop one). I am wondering if I should make the first white border 56 1/2 inches and ease in the 56 3/4 inch quilt body or if I should just reduce the width of the first white border by the 1/4 inch I am over in the quilt body.
I believe that either of those options will hopefully get me to the size it should be after the first white border so that my second border of small squares will fit correctly. If I don't do anything that second border will not fit by the 1/4 inch. Maybe it won't be very noticeable to slice down the 2 outer squares by 1/8 inch either and not worry about resizing the white border or easing in the quilt body?
What do you think would be the most successful option?
