A half inch of that print fabric went under the white border print. The white border print we just tucked under an 1/8 of an inch or so. Hand sewed all 3 sides down. Looks great! Unfortunately, we found a few other smaller spots that came undone so just hand sewed those as well. Her Mama will have strict instructions not to wash the quilt. Thank you everyone for your suggestions!!
So good of you to update the board on the results. Sounds like a workable solution.
