Have you washed the quilt since then, and did the stretched top stay stretched? I would be afraid that the stretching was only temporary and after washing (or even after just "relaxing") the wavy borders would appear.

Tartan - I really like the idea of a narrow inner border if it will go with your quilt's design. If that doesn't work, maybe re-make a few of the paper pieced block so that they are a bit smaller? Or if it works out with the design, replace a few of them with something else.
