Then my sandwich came out wonky. I actually ripped out the quilting (only a couple of rows each time) because I was getting all kinds of wrinkles on the back. Finally got enough advice to figure out what I was doing wrong.
It ain't perfect, but it is one of my better quilts. Maybe even the best I've done --so far--.

Glad you decided to finish it. Try adhessive spray next time you are ready to quilt . It made the whole process easier and go without difficulty. I've pinned, but the spray proved that it was worth the prep time to use it.
Keep on going. You will get better with each quilt you make. Your friend will cherish the one you gave her.
