Absolutely stunning!

These relate to blocks not quilts, but these Sharon Schamber videos present some options.
I can't find the video where she was squaring a quilt - not trimming it, but squaring the quilt center, then the inner borders, and then the outer ones, making sure there were perfect 90 degree corners at each step.. I'm thinking it might be within one of her other videos.....sorry. But the concept is the same. Watch these videos about manipulating blocks into submission (without trimming) and you might find these methods work for your situation. It would be a shame to whack off any of your lovely masterpiece. (Some have 2 parts.)

I'm thinking starch is definitely in your future. :wink: I heart starch. |
It is really beautiful. I'll remain hopeful that you can fix it to your liking.

Blocking will definitely take care of it. It's not as bad as you think. I would finish it and then do the blocking. Beautiful quilt!

You could "tighten" the last two horizontal seams in the stretched area. This should even it out as well.

That is really turning out beautifully. I'm sure you will get it straight. And even if you don't...even persian rugs purposely have a flaw somewhere in it. :)
