Default My Saggy Baggy Paper Pieced Log Cabin Swirl

I fell in love with the Log Cabin Swirl pattern by Brenda Groelz and found it was lots of fun to put together. It was easy as long as I paid attention to detail. Yes, I had to redo some of my seams anyway. I love the way it turned out, too. Here is the pattern:

Step 5 says to removed the paper after sewing on the boarder fabrics. When I took the paper out and held it up, the inner pp section sagged a lot. And I mean a lot.

What did I do wrong, or is this normal? I played with the top so that the sagginess was spread around the top and quilted it. It looks alright but in some areas there are a few creases and puffiness. I tried to quilt across the seams so fabric wouldn't bunch up and look bad.

Do any of you experienced quilters have any suggestions for me? I really want to make another one using different fabrics.
