Blossom and Bev: A Dresden question....

A Dresden question....

I hung my Dresden Plate wallhanging today. It was stored rolled up but I thought that it needed a time to flatten out. But...

I have a question for experienced quilters. See how the Dresden pieces are wrinkly?

I outline quilted them but they are not smooth in the middle. What am I doing wrong? Is it the batting?
It just doesn't look right.

Or do you think it looks okay? I'm trimming and starting to assemble the Oklahoma Beauty blocks and I don't want to have the same thing happen to those. So what are you going this Sunday? It got chilly again here (in the 30's) so I'm doing laundry and cleaning today...and trimming blocks and auditioning borders. At any rate, hope your Sunday is a happy one! XO and cheery wave from Bev

Have a good Sunday.

Karen at A Glimpse Into My Reveries said...: I don't have any answer to your wrinkle questions but am eager to hear some suggestions.

I really like the blooms in the Dresden centers! Very spring like and cheerful!; March 23, 2014 at 7:06 PM
Annelies said...: I think it looks LOVELY...but then I kind of embrace MY wrinkles too (G)!!! You could press the quilt IF IF IF you have cotton batting. Poly would MELT, so beware.
Lovely quilt...enjoy.; March 23, 2014 at 8:18 PM
PamKittyMorning said...: hmm I think they look fine. I wonder if its the underlaying tension on the background piece? I know so many factors influence the way fabric lays. maybe the quilting pulls it? poofs it? did you cut away the background behind the block? i guess i have more questions than answers.; March 23, 2014 at 11:09 PM
margaret said...: sorry Bev can`t help but it looks good to me,from what I gather it depends on what batting is used as to how near the quilting should be. good to hear your are working on the Oklahoma quilt; March 24, 2014 at 2:02 AM
Annemiek said...: Isn't it just wrinkled due to storage? When that happens to a quilt of mine, I just iron it provided it has a cotton or 80/20 batting....
But I agree with previous comments: looks fine to me!; March 24, 2014 at 10:45 AM

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
