First--for those who don't know what I'm talking about... look here first:

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

Your quilt is stunning! I am not a fan of bargello, but this is a beauty.

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.

So glad to know this. I watched the videos too (both shrinking and stretching) for my own wonky bargello (which is now stored as a UFO) because I had the same problem. Glad your's is a success.

Wow what a difference the blocking made! So when you trim are you just planning on squaring up the edge that appears just the teenyest, tinyest bit bowed?

That's great, can imagine how you must feel now!
