Flat and squared up -
A quilt that is wonky is a "problem in the area" to fold neatly.
Ruffled borders, uneven side lengths, volcanoes - just some of the things that make a folded quilt look messy - and hard to fold up.
Does it really matter? Probably not as much as if the sun quit shining, but I still like my folded quilt to be "neat".
Any one else have "a thing" about this?

I have several of DH's tiny piece quilts that did not come out square or rectangular despite my best efforts. I don't know what to do with them. They are wall hangings so it is pretty obvious when they don't hang "straight".

I avoid folding almost entirely if it is too wonky. Then it is draped over something. If I have to fold it, I fold it like fitted sheets with no edges out. Yes, it bugs me but not enough to redo it. Although I have been known to remove borders entirely if the wave too much making a smaller quilt.

Volcanos, huh? When I first started quilting other people's tops, I was doing work for a quilt shop. She sent me a Texas Star with all the little diamonds coming together in the middle. When I laid it out flat on the floor, you could have hidden a basketball under the hump in the middle. She took it back and sent me one made by a more experienced quilter.
