Is this disaster salvageable?
#121
Salvage - yes yes yes! I would put a black border on the top and bottom the same size as those on the side. Then I would bind with pink on the black sides and black binding upon the pink side just to make it very unique. Square it up before binding and no one will notice with its vivid theme colors. By the way, I am a breast cancer survivor and I cannot imagine anyone not loving this item. Congrats.

An extra border or two will allow you to add in small increments to even out that edge that bothers you. It won't bother anyone else. They will be so grateful for the thought that was put into this work.

OK, after looking really hard - needed your hint as to where to look, I see your "disaster". If the slight angle really bugs you, why not put on 2 borders on that are wonky...like one starts out 2" at the top and finishes at 1" at the bottom then put a strip that is 3" wide and trim it to square, which will make it different widths at the top and the bottom - the wonky there will mask the wee bit of wonky in the quilt.
OR you could heavily starch the piece and pin it square and let it dry...that covers a multitude of sins by stretching and shrinking to make it square.
