Your quilt is lovely. In order to avoid those waves in the future, do this. Make sure you are pressing with a dry iron. If you must have the bias on the edge, put some foundation on those blocks if they seem to need it.

Measure for you borders from the middle of the quilt from one end to the next. Always pin the middle of the border to the middle of the quilt. Pin both ends and ease in what ever is left, more pins if needed....then press and measure down the middle for the other two sides and do the same. Cut borders on the straight on grain.

Looks great!

I guess I've never had that problem! I just pin as Rosyhf says and sew....no wavieness.....boy, I'm glad to know the solution if I run into it! And considering your pattern on the fabric, I don't think anyone will notice, either. Or they'll think it's just a seam.

Love your quilt! I have a top with a wavy border also--maybe I'll try your quick fix and see if it works for me. I wasn't sure what to do.

That will work...I did that recently on a quilt for my grandson. Once it was quilted it didn't show. The quilt is beautiful!! :thumbup:

very pretty - and perfect solution. thanks for sharing.

I sometimes get one with borders like the above (I do longarm quilting) I will stretch it as much as I can get by with on the rollers...then when I come to the fullness, I will hold down that part in front of the machine and sometimes I can get it eased in without folds...depends on how much of a fullness there is.....

If you do take that little dart in the border, I don't think anyone would notice because it would look like a seam. Sometimes a little fullness can be quilted out. Will you be quilting this yourself?

I can see how that would work. Your fabrics are beautiful. Great job.

beautiful colors and design. once quilted no one will ever see the seam.
