When I glue baste I always wash in warm water and since I have a top loader HE washer using the bulky setting so there is more water. Cold water doesn't get all the glue out for me. I also quilt much heavier than you have so that can make a difference as well. Warm and Natural and other cotton battings will pucker. That is part of the charm I think.

I think if you had more quilting you wouldn't see that puffiness as much - its just the batting shrinking after the washing. I think it looks cute. Just know that in the future if you quilt it closer - it will not have as much puffiness.

My sentiments exactly......stop stressing. More quilting would have made it less wrinkly, but I find this a charming quilt as is.

I wonder if perhaps you stretched the batting trying to make sure you were smoothing the glue to get even coverage. Then when you washed the glue out, the batting went back to its original shape. If it was made with love, It will still be appreciated.

Looks fine to me, Most quilts look this way unless they are not cotton. Even store bought quilts have a crinkly look, so most people expect this kind of look

Actually, I guess I'm not just picky enough because I don't see anything wrong with it.

Just roll it up, tie it with a ribbon and give it to your friend!

Tell her it was washed so that it would be very clean and let it go.

At least she will know what it will look like after she washes it.

The quilt is darling! And it will be appreciated. I wonder if you could add more quilting to the larger areas at this point? Don't know if it can be done now, but I see those areas as needing more quilting, but that's your call. It's darling as it is, however.
