I think, too, the quilting makes a difference. Don't fret over it, it's not noticeable unless it's going to be a wall hanging and time will take care of it. This is adorable!
I used fusible web and cut around the overlap pieces and then satin stitched them down on the new borders because I really hated the borders that came with it. I don't mind how this piece looks (it will be a wall hanging, actually, but I think the unevenness doesn't hurt the look); I just want to know how to avoid this problem in the future. I think there's a lot of good advice here on how to be more precise and it's all of these ideas taken together that lead to a good outcome. Thanks!
