The wrinkles don't bother me at all - but I wonder about what appear to be holes or thin spots in the photo. If those spots are just dark from bits of cotton bolls, then you're fine. If those spots are truely thin spots or holes, you don't want to use this on a quilt that will be washed. You'll want to save it for a wallhanging or tablerunner (that gets removed before dining) - those spots will continue to get weaker if washed and won't last the life of the other fabric in the quilt.
