I think it's gorgeous. If it were mine, I'd hand-baste it before quilting. I bet it will be un-noticeable once quilted. Hand quilting is much more forgiving than using a machine, but time is a huge factor for many of us.

Wavy border, but such a beautiful quilt!! Love your sampler. I would take it off too, as the quilt is too nice to have a wavy border.

Okay, minus the "ruffle" I just LOVE your quilt. The ruffle isn't bad, just not my taste. LOL

as beautiful as your quilt is, I wouldn't worry about it unless it is for a show.

I love the colors, too!

It is such a beautiful quilt the extra work of unsewing will definitely be worth it! I wish I could say this never happens to me, but I can't!

I too think the quilt is beautiful. You'll fix the border no problem. Can't wait to see the redo picture just so I get to drool over this quilt again.

So it did quilt out? That is gorgeous quilt too. But I am taking mine off and redo.

Check out this bad boy picture below. You wanna talk about waves. :) I didn't redo, just hoped it would "quilt out". Second picture is an after picture.

Best wishes for whatever you decide!
