Hi LittleMo,

I love the colors on your quilt top. I think that if you do the starching and LAQ with a medium loft batting that your top will be okay. When I am doing the longarming I sometimes have to really make sure that I have the top as tight as I can get it (without stretching it) to work out areas like yours. I think you will be okay.
Thanks,

This is the link to Sharon Schamber's technique for truing up a block. I'm thinking you can modify it to help out with your quilt top. In the video she corrects a block that's more than 1/2 inch out. The quilt is beautiful. Hope it works out for you without too much effort............

Try steaming and blocking from the center out. Pin each block in the corners before moving on to the next one working in a clockwise motion, and so forth. Let sit and dry before moving or removing pins. Stand back and check work every now and then.

Yep, this is doable!! The starch trick should help. Depending on how you are quilting this, baste or pin baste the blocks where you want them to be. The quilting will help take up the excess. Do the minimum amount of quilting you want on the quilt. You can add in more quilting to control things if needed. If you are taking this to a LA quilter, she'll be able to make this work.

Don't worry!! Breathe!!

LittleMo, the quilt is beautiful, great colors. Alot of this, if not all can be worked out on a longarm machine. I would suggest an overall pattern, maybe even meandering. This allows control over the "difficult parts" of the quilt top. I've had awesome results with many less than perfect quilts. Your quilt is too pretty to give up on.
