Just needs finished, and it will be a beautiful quilt.
You need to send the quilt police to the next county. :)

Good advice! Square it up by moistening it and pressing it as squared. Then sandwich it and add binding and voila! It will be lovely. (Carefully watch your accuracy in measuring, cutting and 1/4" seams in your next projects.)

Here is what I see in the picture. The 2 pinwheels with the dark background at the top middle are wider apart than the 2 similar pinwheels at the bottom. This is causing the upper portion to be wider than the bottom portion of the quilt. Unsew the left side and the 2 upper middle pinwheels. Correct the 2 upper middle pinwheels to be the same width as the lower middle pinwheel and sew it all back together. It should be more square afterwards.

Honestly, is this thing salvageable?

What's wrong with it? Put a backing on and pass on to the relay for life.
