This is my first Dresden plate pattern. Can anyone tell me what caused this and how I can fix it?

Thanks so much,

I never use an iron until I am ready to sew it on the background, I either finger press or bone folder press. :P

Okay, here's the finished project. Everything turned out just fine. The only thing I would do differently next time is use a lighter/thinner batting. I used W & N on this, but since you 'birth' it after sewing the layers together that made for one THICK edge to sew through.

Thanks to everyone for all your kind words and assistance. :thumbup:
