Once I had the flowers on (all hand sewn) I decided to starch it good.....then it happened....the center blocks all puckered up and wouldn't lie flat! I worked on it off and on for days and finally got some improvement. So I went ahead and added the final charm border and I called it quits! I hoped it wasn't so wavy that it couldn't be quilted out. So I went ahead and sent it off to my LAQ to see what could be done.
I was NOT disappointed! I am more than pleased with the outcome!
