Does anyone know what I have done wrong here to make the wrinkles appear in the border. The pic shows the back only as the wrinkles didn't show up on the front in the pics as it is a busy fabric on the front. I was doing stitch in the ditch on either side of the border, and the wrinkling only appeared while doing the outer edge. As I was sewing it was like there was too much quilt top and not enough backing. As a result on the front there is a few puckers.

The layers are sandwiched together using basting spray, do you think maybe I didn't use enough on those edges and this caused the layers to shift? This is only the third quilt I have done (all baby size) and have not had this happen before.

I was using a stitch in the ditch foot at the time.

Not sure if undoing the stitching and re-doing it would make any difference? My fella says he would never have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out (men!) and that it all looked great anyway (bless him!).

I think I will chalk this one up to experience but am curious as to what it was I did wrong so I don't do it again! You advice and input would be appreciated as always!
