Those birds are super!! I'm with everyone else--cut according to the design of the border fabric chosen. For no wider than that is, I don't think it will be a problem either in construction or appearance.

On your picture of the whole quilt it isn't even noticable. Love that print BTW as well as the whole quilt. Anyway, I would leave it. If you take it off and redo it are you going to go to all the trouble of lining it up so it matches where the seam lines are where the top and bottom border meet the sides as well? That print looks tiny to me. What do those hourglass blocks measure? Looks to me that they are less than 1/2". That small of a print is not noticeable and honestly doubt the mom will even notice and the baby definitely won't. Besides, with those great bird blocks, all any viewers attention will be focused on that. The border is peripheral. Once quilted it will be even less noticeable.

Also make sure your dark border is very straight. :-)
