If it really bugs you, I'd rip it out, otherwise you will be frustrated with the quilt. I would look at it for a couple days, then if it still bothers you, rip it out. However, I would vote for ripping out the top and bottom border if it was me.

I love it the way it is. Think of it this way" Those geese flying out at bottom and top had to come from somewher and that somewhere is the sides of the quilt. "Oh, Lord, deliver us all from the compulsion to be perfectionists." froggyintexas

I'd rip it out and change the top and bottom. It is worth it. You paid a lot for this kit (probably) and you could have it ripped out before you had to time to peruse the QB thoroughly, for sure!

What a wonderful quilt. No one will know the difference if you do not tell them. It will be our little secret.

I've found that if something bothers me it's quicker to fix it than to agonize about it. Please show this again when it's finished - it's going to be beautiful. I just love those colors.

I also like the sides flipped the way they are.

With the way the corners fit, I think it will look better as it is now rather than changing it.
Really like it!!

I like it the way it is. I wouldn't change it. Very pretty.

I would change the top and bottom cuz they are shorter. LOL

That is a good rule. I think that if it bugs you now...it will bug you later so may as well fix it.
