M-Fay, I have been trying to figure out what could be the difference. I came up with a couple things. I hand quilted with clear thread, underneath the blades of the pinwheels. I folded the blades back , held them with one hand and hand quilted a line just on the black fabric to the backing--not on the blades--I did a straight line hand quilting line. I then continued this around the pinwheel making sure when I let the blade down that my line didn't show. I wanted to make sure the batting didn't shift as it was polyester and quilting was recommended no more then 4 inches. So perhaps that combined with the fact that I washed it to get the chalk marks from the hand quilting, caused the wrinkling and movement you are seeing. I actually thought that the pinwheels needed ironing as some of them look wrinkled, but now I am thinking of leaving it the way it is and the person that gets it can decide if they want to iron them. Hope this might help. If you are referring to the circle effect, I can describe that as well.

I went back and added more quilting to my WH, quilting the background so it wouldn't be so loose. Don't know if you can tell from this photo, but it holds together better now.
