I am working on a baby quilt (there's a story about why it has birds) and am having trouble with a little issue related to the final border. The border is a blender of sorts and has a linear pattern to it. The problem is the fabric was printed so if it is cut on the straight grain the lines do not line up properly. I think you'll see what I mean when you look at the picture. So, what would you do- cut following the line, but off-grain, or cut on-grain and let the line be off? One more note- in the picture of the quilt the colors are such that it looks like the border doesn’t blend with the colors of the quilt, but it does. Thank you in advance for your opinion.
