I agree with Dina it is a beautiful top. I do believe that if you pressed it with Best Press or my favorite Bounce Spray starch it would lie flatter you may even try ironing the seams open. I love the design and it is good work, don't be sew hard on yourself that it takes the fun out of it. As I used to always tell my quilter awe it will all come out in the quilting. Of course now I am a LAQ and some doesn't always come out in the quilting but I bet you this one will it is alot prettier then some of the wonky designs I have seen. Take a step back breathe and know it is a quilt made with love.
