First--for those who don't know what I'm talking about... look here first:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-110159-1.htm
Now--here are pics of the piece pinned to the carpet in my quilting room. I drew a straight line on a piece of fabric, then pinned the uneven edges along it. I pinned all around, but extra in the spots that were off. I've sprayed and checked and sprayed some more. Since it's colder in there, I've hit it with a hair dryer. It's still not 100% dry, but I took the pins out. I'll iron it later tonight. BUT--looks like it worked great--yes?? Yes!!! :-D :-D I have just a wee trim to do.
BORDERS:
I still think I just want a green binding. But, if you're one who'd add two green borders with a skinny floral one between--please raise your hand. :-D

This was the side that was more off. Look at her now! :-)

So glad that worked--I'll have to remember that trick.
Your quilt is beautiful. I like the idea of just a binding, I don't think borders add anything to bargelloes (just my VERY humble opinion). Yours is great just like it is.

phew - saved by the starch trick. I've done this with individual blocks but never with anything bigger (& hope I never have too!)
I'm sitting on my hand here so don't count me in for borders. Green binding sounds right on the mark.
