I think I see it - that last row looks a little short.

If it really is short, maybe you can just add a little strip of white there, to bring it out to the correct size.

Really cute quilt though, I love the effect.

No you don't! I still don't know what you're talking about. Finish it up and donate it if you don't like it anymore, but you will totally hate it if you have to rip it apart and compromise the fabric.

First of all I love your pattern, fabric and the shadow effect. Follow Dunster's advice. Does your pattern have a name? And, for the record-- I don't see a problem.

I'm not suggesting that you try to ease when there is a large discrepancy in size, but if it's a small difference then it's a common and necessary practice.
Ditto. I've had to ease in order to keep working on not getting those waves in the borders.

Is your problem that the last row is a little short? Or are all the rows a little uneven? I can't see exactly what is wrong for you to want to take the whole quilt apart.

The quilt is beautiful! I love the 3D effect.

I'm not seeing any problem. Leave it like it is! They are "floating", after all.

Great quilt!

I think it's lovely.

Pin at both ends and in the middle first, then all along the sewing path so that the edges match. If it's really that much different in length, compare to the other rows to see where the problem is and fix it. It's a very pretty quilt, and you can fix this.
I like this answer ... and I think a nice binding would finish it off just fine instead of a border. Love this Pattern, your quilt will be worth the bit of frustration but I hate frustrations too!

hard to see, but I think a little strip of white fabric at the end of the bottom row solves the immediate problem.
