I think some curved quilting across those corners would help your eye to continue moving and not stop to look at the seams. I agree with everyone else.. Wonderful quilt!

I think it might have something to do with which seam is sewn first that has shifted the placement. Disappointing for sure when it is such a gorgeous quilt top. I don't think you can fix it without it moving another section off. As others have said, it will be less noticeable once the quilt is washed.

If I leave it as is, what type of batting do you think would be best so that the problem is less noticeable?
|
If it were mine, I'd first pat myself on the back for doing such a good job and then get to quilting it. I'd use Warm and Natural type of batting. It shrinks a bit and gives quilts a nice crinkled look. I love that look and it hides lots of my mistakes.
|
other than re-pressing some seams, I'd just do small meandering on the whole quilt. then wash it. it really should look much better after that. good luck.

I would use a cotton batting, like warm and natural and don't pre shrink it. After quilting & binding, wash the quilt and the batting will now shrink just a bit and give you a crinkled look |
This is why I started glue basting my quilts together before sewing. LOL. The quilt is very nice. I would just pet it and promise to do better next time.

No one will be able to tell unless they are a quilter themselves and even then they will still love it. I have a friendship star quilt from my aunt that is like that and I still use it every night, have been sleeping under it for over 15 years now and still love it imperfections and all

Until I scrolled down to the second picture, I thought to myself, what the heck is she talking about? The quilt is beautiful! Like others have said, leave it as is and enjoy. It would be great to see a picture after you have quilted it and washed it.
I don't like that fusible grid stuff either. Tried it once, never again. Cheryl in CT |
