Will this "quilt out"? Or, how to solve the problem?

The weeble-wobbles you're getting is part of the nature of the beast in bringing together all the pie pieces of the dresden plate. I have no better solutions than already offered.
Your colours are wonderful! Is this going to be a one plate quilt? Or are you doing a larger one?

I'm all for trying to adjust the seams for making it lay flater, but I really am surprised that it came out this way after I was so careful during the whole process. I didn't even use any steam because I didn't want to skew anything. Hmm.

I just wanted to say your colour choices on this one are beautiful, what a nice combination!

There are no perfect quilts. A little extra quilting will absord some extra. A little extra will look like the rest of your puckery quilt after it's washed. The video is excellent. We can all learn to better our work-job satisfaction. By the way, I think mitering border pieces is way over-rated. It causes more rippling and excess length (which means puckers) than it's worth. It's a great advantage if it's done right.

I feel SOOOOOOO stupid right now!!! Why? I walked into my sewing room first thing this morning and it suddenly occurred to me... :shock: there's only supposed to be 15 sections in this block - I cut and sewed in 16 sections!! :shock: :roll: :lol: :oops: Oh brother!
Talk about a head banging moment!! Wish I could find that emoticon about right now! :oops:
Thank you all for your wonderful assistance and wisdom. Much appreciated. :thumbup:
Happy Easter,
