Advice needed!!!

I just finished my first moderne baby blanket, but as soon as I finished binding off my last stitch, I noticed something I hadn't noticed before. I followed the border pattern to the "T" and noticed that the right side of the work shows the stitches where I attached the border to the blanket. It really doesn't look bad except for the few places where I picked up stitches from the side of a block. After examination of the pic in the book of the rug (where the border is shown in the book), the stitches show on the right side as well... However, I kinda don't know if I like it and am considering frogging the whole border and redoing it to where the stitches don't show.... I don't have any pictures because my dh has our camera in Mississippi. *Just to brag, he's out doing his 2nd trip for hurricane relief on the coast. There's still a lot to do down there, guys!* So, if you can even visualize my problem, please let me know what you think..thanks!

Funny, I'm working on Moderne and was thinking about that--I did one of the bathmats with that border and it is fine, but I wasn't sure I would like it on the blanket. Let us know what you decide.
 
I'm doing a rug for my entryway and decided I didn't like the border picked up from the wrong side either. So, I picked it up from the right side, but also added an extra stitch to each end while picking up to simulate the increased stitches required on the right side. So far I've only done the two short sides and I think it will work well.
