So I did what people suggested, here's some pics to show what I did:

All sewn together, and then I washed it. Realized that if you don't put soap in the washing machine the colour doesn't come out. Almost had a heart attack LOL

So I washed it twice, then dried it, and now I have a mess:

And the edges are awful

So I am wondering ... is this because I should have

a) done from the middle out?
b) made sure there was quilting pretty much everywhere?

When I did the "embroidered" blocks, they were only done on the top. Then I put the batting, the backing and used spray adhesive.

Now it's all puckered, and looks horrible! Another cat quilt?

Any other tips I should know before I attempt this again?

Thanks a bunch
