Is someplace you can hand stitch some appliqués for a reversible quilt?
Using patterned fabric is one of the best ways to hide small unmentionables on the backing. It also camouflages funky quilting stitches. I use printed fabric for every backing on every quilt I make. It also makes the quilt reversible.

A little more work on your part will correct the folds and make you happy again. I think the fabric just wasn't tight enough when basting. You will be able to minimize this by unstitching those few spots and move the fabric around and re stitch. I have even done hand stitching to even out these little folds after un sewing the area affected.

What ever you decide to do, I want to see the whole quilt!
peace
