Looks good to me too. I didn't see whatever it was that was bothering you.

Sew a border on it, and it will be fine. I like it.

Looks fine to me also.

If it is an optical illusion as some have suggested, flip it around so it's upside down and see if the "left" side still looks crooked.

I agree - finish the boarder and then square it up a bit more. I had to look really close to see the minor problems. It looks awesome and everyone will love it.

I think it looks great, but I think if you add the borders and square it up, I think it will look great.

If it were mine, I'd add that pink fabric to the top and bottom and square it up. Once it's quilted it won't look as wavy. It;s such a pretty quilt, I wouldn't want it hanging out in a closet somewhere.

Trim down the boarders if the measurements at the top are off from the bottom.
I see what you are looking at and I would measure across the top, middle and bottom to see if it is out of square.
It may be optical illusion.
Trim and continue.
