I've been quilting for 10 years and have yet to make a perfect quilt.
No-one will notice if you don't point it out. It's not like you're entering it in a show! Your kids will love it because it's from you.

I think the only place it really matters if your quilt is "squared-up" is if you enter it into a quilt show, where you are judged for your expertise. I would much rather spend my time making the quilt than perfecting every square inch of it. 8-)

it looks good on a bed. :thumbup:

If it looks good on the bed I would leave it alone. I have never made a show quilt. The last quilt I made was for our bed and to make it fit right I added wider borders to the top and bottom and narrow ones to the sides. It looks good on the bed.

See this sail-boat quilt WELL, I didn't measure the sides and ends to cut the lengths for the borders and so it is way out of whack. I say to you - leave it the way it is and enjoy. Consider it a lesson and you'll never do it again. Would love to see a picture of it.
