I take back everything bad I ever thought about machine quilting. That is absolutely beautiful. Your design and detail is incredible. You should be very proud.
Something that just came to mind about the waviness of the border. Years ago, crocheted table top pieces used to be starched and blocked around bottles to produce a wavy border. Perhaps you can leave it as it is and appreciate the 'natural' waviness. I wouldn't mind displaying it in my house.
