    Thank you for all your replys. I used starch and then ironed it, it looks alot better now, still some waves but not as bad. I'll show pictures as soon as Im finished with it. :)

    I agree.

    In the future do as the other members suggested and measure in a couple different spots through the middle of your quilt. Take the average and sew on borders. This should help with the "waves"

    But this particular quilt I would just starch it really well and quilt it.
