    Wow. That is beautiful. I don't know the answer to your question.

    What about using a stiffener? Fusing either Annie's Soft n Stable or Lazy Girl's Stiff Stuff (it's thinner) on the outer blocks to keep the points straight and then you could sew a regular sleeve behind the 3 black blocks on the top.

    I have used the Stiff Stuff to make a small basket. It is stiff enough to hold the points, but it is flexible enough to lay flat or fold.

    My former teacher made odd-shaped quilts but they were in smaller shows, like the Asheville quilt show and not AQS.

    Your wall hanging is going to be beautiful. I love the colors you have chosen. Your work is just beyond anything I could ever dream of doing. Keep those pictures coming!

    Could you use boning? Black boning is flat and could be a bit hidden on the back....just a thought.

    Caspharm...I am going to look into the Stiff Stuff once I get it completed. That might work!

    Boning may work too, but then I wouldn't be able to ship it to a show, if it got accepted.

    Thanks, everyone!
