I know that's part of the problem with mine. I opened all my seams, they were starched before sewing and during the sewing of the the halves together. I like starch it's a quilters best friend.
I'm going to change the borders on mine maybe today, then bite the bullet and just put it together and quilt it. I love the colors, I love the look of it, and I'm ready to have it on my bed. :D
