I like this quilt and the wavy lines are perfect! It was fine without them, but even better with them. Good call.

I have made a baby quilt for a friend, as a favor. Today I finished the binding, and washed and dried it (low heat setting). I like the crinkled, old-fashioned look for a quilt, but this one came out too puffy and wrinkled to look nice.
This is the first quilt I have basted the layers using Elmer's Washable School glue. The quilting (STID) seemed to go okay and I didn't notice any problems with wrinkling, puckering, etc., while I was working on it.
I tried ironing it, but really that just pushes the wrinkles around and doesn't improve how it looks much.
I'm wondering if I rewash it and lay it flat to dry, would that improve it, but I don't really think it would look any better.
I will appreciate any suggestions.

I know a lot of girls use the e. sch. glue and have good results. I tried it on a wall hanging and my results weren't good. I ended up taking it apart and getting rid of the glue.
Yours may be too far along to do that, but I jus couldn't have it like it was
Good luck

How did you get rid of the glue? I'm confused. I have used it on projects that will be washed and just washed it out. I can't imagine any other way to get it out.
At any rate, she already fixed it with more wavy quilting. Just scroll up a few posts.

Oh the baby will love cuddling on it and playing on the floor with it. Give it as promised and then you can either make a second with more quilting if your friend would like one. But I'm sure they will love it as the baby will adore it.
