Hi everyone! I've been a lurker pretty much up until now, but I have a question I hope y'all will answer. I'm working on a quilt with several borders, two plain white with a pieced multi-colored one in between. The strips for the white borders are joined on the diagonal. I just put on the last white border and found that the diagonal seams in the two white borders are going in different directions if you know what I mean. Even though there is a pieced border separating them, the seams are close together and are noticeable. At first I figured it would be best if both seams ran in the same direction and was prepared to rip it out. Then, after spreading the quilt on the floor and looking, I've about decided that having the seams going in opposite directions makes them less noticeable. Either way, it looks like one border will need to come off & be resewn, which is fine I guess. Is there a rule of thumb on this? Does it matter? Am I nuts? Thanks for your help & sorry this is so long!
