If I understand you correctly and you mean to put it in a washing machine you will have a bigger mess on your hands when it frays since it is not quilted. Please try to dampen with a cloth or maybe a spray bottle to loosen the glue. Straighten out the wrinkles then let it dry before you proceed to quilt. Good luck to you.

Jill, I am so sorry you are having trouble. Just think though, a little while ago (Many months) they weren't sure you were going to live let alone be able to quilt. I have seen your quilts and they are beautiful. I think the quilt she is talking about that she made for a friend is called China Doll. The one she gave to a friend was done in purple. Here is a picture of it. Hang in there kiddo. You will be able to get it done.

The more grief I have making one the more stubborn I become. Hang in there!

When I made my son's quilt I threatened many many times to take it out into the woods and burn it. It did turn out nice.

I don't understand it but sometimes quilts just fight you the entire time. I mad a disappearing 4 patch last year. Probably the easiest pattern I have made in quite a while. I made blocks wrong, cut them wrong etc. It became almost a nightmare. I did beat it in the end, it is all quilted and bound and ready to donate.

Take a deep breath and just work on one step at a time. It is like the old question, How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Someone else took my comment, but it is all I can say, "I feel your pain".
