Here's another photo while it was on the frame. As I mentioned in my introduction, I'm not an expert at piecing borders. Luckily I don't torture another machine quilter, I have to deal with it.
It's a method that many longarm quilters use to "tame" wavy borders. As long as you don't pre-wash your fabrics, you can use spray starch and steam (or any heat) to shrink up your borders.

Beautiful!! Someday... hopefully, I will get a machine that allows me to machine quilt more than in the ditch... if not, I'll have to perfect quilt as you go I guess. :cry:
