I agree! what do some say about an 'error' or 'mistake' turning into a 'design choice'! Think outside the box for a minute...I'm sure you'll come up with a cool design feature!

I just realize that my quilt has wrinkles just like me. Then next time I make sure that my backing is smooth before I quilt Happens to all of us at one time or another

The darned thing has to go into our local show next year. I was going to give it away after that, but I don't think I could with the back looking so bad.

Here is the finished backing. I ended up "hemming" just the worst small section that had a 1/4" fold and left the rest alone. The front turned out okay, and that is really the only part that matters for this quilt since it's not going to be judged, just displayed.
Here is a thread on the front if you're interested in seeing that: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t235999.html I'm proud of myself for not pointing out the disappointing back in that thread even though I wanted to confess my sins. ;) I don't know why we all so desperately want to point out our quilt's flaws. |
Can you fold and stitch down so it is not seen.

You need to prepare the back so this doesnt happen next time. Once this happens just go on and find out how to avoid it next time.
