Love the black and white - very nice job! I also think the wrinkles give it character as well as making it more snuggly!

It could also be due in part to the batting that was used. These are just some ideas on my part. I love the quilt just as it is. Keep up the good work.

It's great. You could add more ties even now, just press and straighten it as much as possible first. And from now on, lay flat to dry. Remember that you used cotton, it will wrinkle no matter what you do. Enjoy it!

If everything was not prewashed, it will wrinkle. I like your nascar flag quilt! Looks good.

This quilt is great. It looks like one a person could really curl up and get cozy with. I would not worry about the wrinklesm it adds that loved and used look.
