So I think I'm going to create a couple of false seams in the boarder. That seems to be the best fix for this one. I took a close up to show you guys. Hopefully by the end of the day it will be quilted and no one will notice!!!

GREAT solution!!! Very Creative :D:D:D
|
looks like a good one to me, really like your fabrics
|
Even with the wavy borders, I really like your quilt! Clever solution too.

beautiful quilt

From the picture, it looks like there is a curve on the end closest to the camera -
If those corners/end are squared/straightened, I'm wondering if some of the wave/extra in the side borders would disappear. ?? |
That actually happened after I fixed the wavyness. So when I'm done with the quilting I will re-square it up for the binding. I think what created the problem to begin with was all the little diamonds. They all puckered or bubbled slightly...creating a difficult border.

In my mind your problem comes from stitching straight-grain fabric to bias edges. I have had that problem too. While I am not a very experienced quilter, I am an advanced sewer. I would measure the center panel in several areas, take that average, and then cut the strips to that length, then pin, pin, pin. I find if you pin the ends to meet and then work from the center edges out to the ends, this helps. Also steaming before sewing helps to shrink problem areas.

Love your quilt. I have to make of one someday.

I you overlap at the quilt edge and press, you wont have a seam and it will remove the extra fullness. The overlap will stay even during the quilting and not be seen at all.
