I learned the hard way with a Storm at Sea that it helps to press open those seams that come to the point--bigger hassle, but it solved the "nesting" (or lack of) problem. So for the future! I like several of the suggestions given already. I will say that I had another quilt, a UFO that I started before I had a clue what I was really doing, and had the same issue with the points coming together and lots of seams on one side. I knew when I got it on the LA that I needed to avoid a quilting pattern that would A) go through that mob of seams and B) quilt around them too close so that I ended up with little knobs where they came togather. I also used my plastic 3lb mallet and wet the quilt and put a board under it and one on top of the knob and flattened it. It really did help.
