Has the LAer ever trimmed your Quilts before? I would definitely make her/him aware of this situation and see what the response is-if not to your satisfaction, time to seek out a new LAer. Actually, from the pic, being a kind of scrappy design, not as noticeable as if it were a color coordinated design. Put it in the show you were planning to, you never know, may not be noticed! Definitely make sure No Trimming is specified the next time!
