I have also had fighting quilts..I think we all have...it is just like your brain goes on vacation...and no matter what u do .it is wrong..i have to admit..I did throw one out...it was huge...I tore the quilting out ..2 times...spents many. Many ..hours doing that...no matter what I did it bunch some in the back..I was doing it on my home machine..I re-basted..fought with it in every way...on the 3rd quilting..same thing..I know it was just me...But I who won't tore any material..did throw it away...have to admit . It sort of haunts that I did...after taking the stitches out so many times ..the fabric gets stress..I have none many for that one and after..NEVER had that kind of trouble...
