What a huge quilt for your first project, but it is looking great!
I agree. Straight lines are very hard for me. I made a king size quilt last year, but I used Marti Mitchell's Quilting in Sections book and did it in 3 sections which made each piece easier to handle. Then put the borders on last. It came out really good.
I starched and did swirls on it. I only got one tiny pucker which I chose to leave since it was so small. I noticed the last time I washed it that I couldn't even find it.
Good luck! Quilt on!
