after it is quilted, who sees the seams. after it is quilted the wrinkles are taken up with the quilter stitches. sometimes the seams coming together don't stick out like a sore thumb. besides, if they start pointing out the mistakes to you, take it back and give it to someone who really care and love your labor of love. You will get to the day it looks great. I don't intend to enter a contest anyway. I just love working in my sewing room and forgetting all the troubles of the world.
