I usually have to unclamp, to baste the next section so I do the same which is stretch, clamp, layer and baste. I don't hang my quilts to see if they are flat. I did hang Butterscotch Ripple to photograph it and wanted to explain the sloppy border! Some quilts don't lay flat after quilting and I believe that if you block it on a large frame that will take care of the "problem" but you need a large frame and the space to do it and that's something I don't have! So I there is a bit of a wave in the quilt.....I just live with it!

Very few have that characteristic and I see one that does....I'm in love!

The reason I ask, is that I baste mine flat,before quilting, but when I hang them up they are no longer flat, which spoils them.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-18587423595941915632013-07-28T09:14:12.969-07:002013-07-28T09:14:12.969-07:00what yummee colours you have used for this quilt, ...what yummee colours you have used for this quilt, that looks like a lovely book. I was fascinated by the frogs in the last post and that the paint colours have not faded with washing. I will certainly have a try with the trapunto technique, what a neat idea!<br />My little quilt you mentioned was the first one I ever made and is very dear to me :-)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
