Thank you all for the replies. I have the top and bottom sandwiched with the batting. This quilt is deffinately not going to be perfect. I am just going to accept this one as that. I think maybe I should have started with a more simpler/smaller quilt. But I am giong to get it on a frame and work at it. We shall see. Hopefully it won't be too awful. Thanks again for everyone's advice. It is greatly appreciated. Kyia
