I do not consider this a quilting disaster. If you had done a loopy quilting it would have turned out more like you thought - I think? The sitd has allowed a lot of freedom in crinkling. I think it looks fine and your friend and baby will love it.

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.
