I may want to consider an alternate border or perhaps a downsized version of the pattern. I know my limitations and if I were to have the same problems with my LBB I would have to simply put it away never to be seen again, because I wouldn't have a clue as to how to 'fix' it. Oh boy, as I said in an earlier post...this quilt is driving me crazy.
I hope NanaUpNorth sees your link because she is almost finished with her own Little Brown Bird.
Thanks again for the link.
