Default LQS fabric stretching out of shape?

Has this happened to anyone else? This is the first time this happened to me. I went to quilt my star quilt and noticed that the borders were perfectly sewn to the edges of the quilt and lay flat but the inside of the quilt was out of shape, way too much fabric. I did manage to do an allover design to bring in the excess, but frankly was puzzled. I bought the fabric in a LQS, as I do most of my fabrics and 100% cotton. Everything was cut and sewn without a problem, all pieces fit in together. I had extra fabric to make a matching baby quilt but decided not to have this happen again. Could it have stretched when I laid it over the rail of the longarm until I was ready to quilt?
