So, I’m adding a pieced border to my quilt top. Width at which section of border is to line up to center pieced area is 1 3/8” too much. Is this too much to ease in if the center area is supposed to be 401/2” but the border section is 41 7/8” ? I’m trying to avoid cutting out sections of sashing which will throw off the visual balance. And I want to get pinning so I can move along with some more progress!
