***Update***
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions..... most were in agreement with me that the borders needed to be re-done. I am very pleased with the revision and ready to get this baby quilted!!!
To the poster who "instructed me" how to apply borders so that they would not be wavy....
..... With the first picture, I did not exert much effort to assure the quilt top was straight on my design wall..... Guess I was not expecting a review by the 'Quilt police'.

I absolutely LOVE the quilt now! That yellow border adds so much to the quilt and really makes the yellow triangles pop! Such a pretty buttery yellow to boot. Very nice and not at all ugly anymore! Good job!!
