    Default Wonky panel

    Hi Quilters! I spray startched this panel and then pulled it ever which way before trying to iron it somewhat straight. It’s a lot better than it was but still wants to looked curved on the center edges. I tried to hide the fact but floating it with a similar dark blue background frame around the panel. It’s cut straight but printed curvy. I also added busy blocks to distract from the less than perfect panel. This is the best I could do with such wonkiness.

    It is still wonderful top. I don't think I would have noticed the wonkiness if you hadn't pointed it out. I'm sure it will still be well loved.

    It looks wonderful. I never noticed the wonkiness until you pointed it out. Another great QOV.

    Even a straight quilt looks curved and wonky when there is a lump of a person snuggled underneath it. Someone will truly love this and see it for the greatness it is. Nice job.

    Never mind, it still looks great. I love your pattern around the border.

    Even with the bow in the middle, it's still a wonderful quilt. Remember that America bends (bows) but never breaks...lol

    Panels can be so aggravating for that reason, but it will look fine after quilting. Framing it was a great idea and I have done that in the past, but it looks lovely now with lots of "help" from you. Another win Toogie.
