I agree with both snipforfun and Peckish. Hopefully, maybe washing will give the quilt back a more crinkled look. I was taught back in the 80s, when machine quilting, use a busy print on the back so that mistakes wouldn't be as visible as with a light neutral print. We all learn from our mistakes. I give you a big thumbs up for trying something different with basting the quilt. I always check that the fabric is smooth by running my hand lightly over the back of the quilt before it goes under the needle.
