Botched border remedy?
Hi, I come from a long line of quilters, but just recently started embroidering blocks for quilts. Anyway, I had some floral blocks done by my late aunt that I had machine quilted by someone else. I had chosen a subdued green for inserts, but my quilter took it upon herself to add a partial dark green stripe and triangles in the border. It has been machine quilted and bound and I am sick. There is also a problem in that she made the bottom border wider than the top.
Could the entire border be removed and redone? Could the entire border be cut off and just have a binding directly next to the blocks (she did a checkerboard pattern alternating the subdued green). It would be a smaller quilt, but the dark green would be gone. I think I could possibly live with it if the bottom border could be cut off to match the top border and binding reapplied. I really hate to hurt her feelings, but it looks awful to me. Any advice is welcome.
