Block it and you should be fine. Get a steel carpenter's square and dampen the quilt --even getting it wet as Artsy suggested. Protect your carpet with plastic if need be, place a sheet on the floor and proceed to square the corners and stretch that rascal into submission. Allow to dry thoroughly before removing the pins (I use T-pins). Don't trim or cut it, just stretch it into shape. Measure as you go, making sure that the sides are straight and that the ends are straight. Good luck, but it should be fine.

I have a good solution. I love it, send it to me and start a new one for you.

I'm next in line! I really love the quilt. I think it is lovely.

On the green stripe. . . is it bias? Can you take that one out and replace it with grain running up and down. It looks like your problem begins there. That will be a beautiful quilt when you finish it. I would love to see the picture of the whole thing when you finish. It will be beautiful!

I agree that by wetting it & stretching it into submission, the problem will be solved. if, in the end, you are not happy with it, don't hid it in a closet. Donate it to a non- profit like a "battered women" shelter. Or add the "smashing"' BTW, thanks to Scissor Queen for the strip stick link.

All strips were cut WOF, but that green one sure looks the worst of all. I have since resewn that one going the other way. I have it all sandwiched with thick polyester batting and will go up now to see if my DSM will quilt it. That should hide a lot of the issues. It will likely be a donation now as I am not thrilled with it, but I will post a picture as soon as I make some progress.

Well, I quilted in the ditch every 4" and I think once I have "squared up" the sides it will be fine. Still probably will be a donated charity quilt; I think it is too busy and would have looked better with smashing...hee hee. I will get back to my new I Spy one tomorrow and will upload pictures of that one then. Thank you so much for all your help!!!

I think it looks great.
