Fix it as best you can then cut it even if you need to. That quilt will be so gorgeous that no one will ever think of looking for a mistake!!! Don't know if I like this better than the log cabin but I would be ecstatic if I made anything half as beautiful.

oh wow, that is gorgeous! You do great things with florals.

And starch is readily available at your supermarket or local CVS. I use the Heavy Duty Niagra brand, but there are as many opinions on that as there are about everything else. ;) ;) Can't wait to see the finished product. |
I would try to block it and if that fails cut it off square and put borders on. Every one who sees it will think that is how it is suppose to be

It's beautiful. I hope you can get it squared up.

You've already gotten the best advice here, especially from MTS. I think you can starch it back into shape, it isn't that far off. And it's beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the finished product!

It's hard to tell: The fourth row up and blocks 5-11 from the left, are they sewn deep enough at the bottom? I love your selection of florals. Looks lovely.

If it doesn't block back in to shape so that you have straight even edge, have you considered perhaps "going with the flow" so to speak and creating an gently curved bottom to the quilt? The bargello has those beautiful curves in the pattern, couldn't you curve the bottom border to match and compliment the curves in the quilt design? Just a thought, and before you did anything you could cut a curved shape out of freezer paper and lay it over the bottom of you quilt to get an idea of how it would look with a curved edge.
