Default What causes this?

I'm a fairly new quilter. This is my 4th quilt. I pieced this one a couple of weeks ago. I have not quilted one before.

I watched three or four classes (free!) on Craftsy yesterday getting ready to quilt this one. I starched and pressed this today. It is not flat - parts are stretchy and the charms are "poufy". It will definitely be hard to quilt without puckers in it.

I received the charms in a swap. They should have been washed. I did not wash the sashing fabric, but it seems that should not have caused a problem at this time (maybe later though). I may have cut part of the sashing on the width and the other on the length of the grain. Could that be it? Is it my tension?

I'd really like to cure this problem.
