I thought I took all the precautions to have a border to lay flat. I am just sick. Now to take it off and try again. The patckwork border is on the bias so I'm not sure I can ever get it to lay flat.

This is just STUNNING! You did a SUPERIOR job!!!


Sorry it doesn't lay flat .. but as they say it is all a learning experience.. what we do wrong this time we will NEVER do again!

Sorry about the trouble you are having with the border. I don't have any suggestions :( , but the quilt is beautiful :D

Beautiful quilt! I don't have any suggestions for you, I have some that come out wonky too

The quilt is just stunning!! (Borders are supposed to lay flat? How flat? :oops: )

It is so Beautiful. It's just spicail thats what makes it yours.

Quilt is just gorgeous and I am so sorry that it is not lying flat. Sound like you know what the problem is and hopefully you will be able to fix it.

THAT is one FANtabulous quilt!!!!!!! :P :thumbup: x 1796

i would remove the outer border entirely. the pieced border is wonderful and should be allowed to shine on its own. :wink:

steam press and hand baste the pieced border into submission as you sandwich it for quilting and then use the lighter green as binding.

that's my 2-cents, anyway.

It's beautiful! Sorry about the border, but it still is a beautiful quilt!

I agree with Patrice. It would be fine if you just removed the last border and binded (bound???) it after it's quilted. The quilt is drop-dead gorgous!
