Janet, that's not a quilt. That's a work of art!!From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

Janet, your quilt is gorgeous!! When is comes to make a quilt hanging flat it can be a challange in itself!! You do not have to ask me how I know
My latest quilt acted up on me as expected as all outer edges was on the bias. After quilting it, it looked just awful! Then I remembered something I read online somewhere: I took the quilt back to the sewing machine, I put stitches at all edges, long stitches that could be manipulated, but hidden when the binding was sewn on. After rinsing it I blocked the quilt pinning it down to a carpet. Using the ruler to get all lines straight I manitulated the stitches by twine some of them around a thick neelde to get "the waves" out. then pined the edges down, everything laying flat. When binding was sewn on it is as flat as it can get

Whatever you did must have worked - congratulations on Best of Show!
Would you work with wool again, Janet?

Thanks so much! I have reservations about working with wool, but I really think part of the problem with that quilt may have been in the quilting/construction. That said, I think I could have fixed it better if I had used 80/20 batting. But as always, each one is a learning experience!Back to Quilting!
