Bahaha! When I first read this, I thought, uh, oh, another koi pond where the egrets are getting the fish! Then I remembered that isn't about quilting, so it would be moved, so I clicked to see what kind of koi pond problem you were having. And I agree with everyone else, no problem here. I can see what you mean, I think we are used to more things going on and not such large empty spaces (in the border.) But, I agree that when it is quilted, the quilting stitches will take care of it.
