I think it's because it's a smaller bargello (sort of like a postage stamp quilt). How can I fix it? I've thought of steam ironing it but not sure.
heres what I did with my hawaiian....can you wet it thoroughly in wash machine...when it was wrung out I layed it on the floor and gently patted it until it layed completely flat....I then let it sit for 4 days while it dried completely. the middle of my hawaiian was so heavily quilted it wanted to do the "bowl" thing...it lays completely flat now on the hanger...try it
