This is the type of pattern that you have to be RIGHT on with ALL your seams otherwise it will be wonky. To me in the photo that center 1/4" seam looks a little skimpy but I think that once you quilt it, that any wonkyness will be able to be stabilized. Cute pattern.

I really love your quilting... it is beautiful... Last night someone suggested that I had scorched the starch and I should soak it over night... I did and most came out... a little on seam lines... I will try lemon juice and sunshine later... tea dying is a great idea or I think if I quilt heavily in those areas, I may be ok.
Did you use any special rulers... I just made templates...

I posted on the other thread about the scorching. Hard to tell for sure from a photo, but it looks to me as if you simply scorched starch rather than burned the fabric. The telltale for me is that the seams are the brownist. This is usually because they stick up enough to collect any burned starch that your iron may be depositing.
