Creased Quilt
I decided to pull out, tidy and/or clear out the under stairs cubbyhole this morning of the years of accumulated... Whatever!
Under a pile of bags, I've found a part quilted Christmas lap quilt that I must have been doing about three years ago... And totally forgot about. And I haven't a clue how it got under the bags in such a state.
It's very creased and I'm not sure how to tackle it. Should I just carry on quilting it or unpick it, which I'd rather not do if their is another solution.
Thanks in advance.

I'd probably hang it somewhere for a bit or lay it flat for a bit if you have room. Either method should relax the creases (hanging probably better though). Then just carry on quilting. I can't see why you'd have to pick out what you've already done.

Thank you, that's what I really wanted to hear. At the moment I've got it hung over the dining room chairs, and the thought of unpicking it was making me cringe.
I've got so many unfinished projects, that really want to put this at the top of my list and get it done so that it can be put out to decorate at Christmas.

I alway spray glue my quilts, but I've also put pins in it, luckily, so the part needing quilting hasn't moved. I've sprayed it with water and it's going into the bathroom ... Hubby is due home and the steam from the shower might help.
Because I dont have a dryer any more.... Lol it set on fire, My aunt has told me to go to her house and shove it in her dryer for a few minutes, so I might try that as well.
Well... It's like Narnia in that cupboard... I've pulled out the last bags and found 20 Log Cabin blocks with log cabins and bears on them, within a bag of fabric I didn't realise I had!

Thanks everyone for your help the creases aren't totally out, but it's beginning to look promising. I'm about to spray it again and going to be hanging it outside for a few hours.
Hopefully, I'll be able to start quilting it again in the next day or two.
