I didn't really deserve all the nice compliments you all gave me.

With a plant or a platter in the middle, who's going to notice? It looks fine. Straighten a little (watch your center points) and all will be well. Still think it looks great.

Binding can hide a multitude of sins.

Don't give up on it now, you have a really nice topper there and you are the only one to ever know it's little secret. I agree with everyone add a border and binding and put it on your table with pride, I know I would.

Just cut the other sides to match, still a very pretty design and your work is still great!

when cutting, use the angle lines on your ruler to check for accuracy. I'm #__ that says, cut it & finish it. it is too pretty not to finish. you'll never make the same mistake again. (who am I kidding, sometimes I repeat a mistake until it is embedded in my brain !)
