yeah, while I'd be trying hard to figure out a reason NOt to re-do--I definitely agree with Dunster. almost an inch is quite alot to ease in. Can you just adjust some of the seams on the pieced border to take up--maybe adjust several seams so you are taking up little in several spots--would only need 5 spots over the whole border if you took up 1/8" inch at each seam for 5/8", etc.
