It was a white cotton dresser scarf with a small amount of embroidery and open work. I layered that on top of a piece of pale green fabric, then batting and backing. I've done others without problem, but with this one I decided to quilt the border by following the fancy edge of the scarf to emphasize it, and maybe that caused the waves.
I guess the good thing about it is that I learned what not to do in the future! Thank you for helping me to figure out how I can do better on the next one.
Steaming it with a wet cloth is a good idea too. Thank you...
