If you have measured across the centre of the quilt in both directions to get the measurement, and then is still hasn't eased in to sit flatly, I think I would make a judgement as to whether the quilting could flatten it. If not, I would 'fudge it a bit by easing in all of the seams along that section and don't trim anything until it is flat.Most frustrating when the measurement might only be out one sixteenth of an inch. Good luck with the fixing, as it is a nice , dramatic quilt.

Maybe it's the fabric you used in the border. I recently used the exact same fabric to make a crib size quilt - whole cloth. Discovered the lines on the fabric aren't perfectly square. If that's what you used to square the fabric when you cut it for the border, that may be how you ended up with waves. Don't be discouraged, it's all part of the learning curve

First and foremost your quilt is beautiful. I think maybe you are just a little "to close" to it at the moment! It is very frustrating when we do "everything right" and something still goes wrong. I also know that personally if I don't atleast try to fix it, I am never happy with it, and that is way to nice a quilt not to be happy with! Did you piece the 2nd border or is that the fabric, if you pieced it maybe you could just adjust the seams...but I have also known the LQS quilters who have been able to "quilt it out", so before you throw the baby out with the bath water as my Mother use to say, maybe you should ask them and get their opinion. They would know what they can do. Your quilt is beautiful and you did a lot of work. DON'T GIVE UP. :thumbup:
