I'm making note of all these situations. This is the best board.

Just finegle it and no one will know. (that means cheat a bit) I am sure none of my quilts are really square and no one has every complained...

I am afraid that bias edges are your problem.................Remove the bias squares and substitue a plain border after carefully measuring the top bottom and middle of your quilt. Ease in whatever small amount of fulllness you may have. Good Luck. Incidentally, your quilt is wonderful.

I love your attitude!!

It's a beautiful quilt. I would ditch the pieced borders you are starting at the bottom and just finish the quilt with the solid borders on it. As someone else said, on a bed you won't even notice the width discrepancy, and it will make a pretty and cozy blanket for your dd!

Three inch difference is a lot and is certainly noticeable depending how it is used. Personally I don't believe such a difference should be satisfactory. I would go back and try to find where the difference happened and correct it. I believe the maker will be more satisfied and will be a learning experience to avoid next time.

I am a firm believer in " the more ripping out you do the more your pieces will stretch" So try to ease extra into the border with out ripping out.

I measure the quilt top from top to bottom through its vertical midpoint then cut my border to that measurement. I measure quilt top horizontal through midpoint then cut my border to that measurement. Ease in any fullness. I revert back to my first quilt class as was taught. It seems to work every time for me.

I agree. I was always taught that if it is worth doing. It is worth doing right. There is a lot of time and dollars invested to do an, oh well!! Job. Find the source. You will be glad you did
