Waves in quilt.
#1
Baby quilt for a girl DH works with. There are waves around the edges and in the quilt, any suggestions on how to get them out if possible? Any suggestions would be appriciated. Any ideas what causes this?
Thank you.
Thank you.

PS I have had that sort of issue. Found out I had to measure through the center lengthwise as well as along the edges, maybe even a couple of other measurements, then figure the average of all these measurements. Finally, cut the side borders to that length and ease the quilt to the border. Helps to pin ends and centers, also the quarters, etc. Same for the horizontal borders. Did this make sense? Hope so! They usually come out pretty well for me now. Happy Quilting.

I learned the hard way that when you iron the blocks & each row of sashing can cause them to stretch or distort. It is always better to press instead of ironing back & forth. spray starch & pressing it may help. It is a beautiful quilt & the baby will love it no matter what.
