No I'm not talking about a flag. I'm talking about the edges of each round of triangles on this quilt. I couldn't believe how wavy the first round was and I won't even pretend it was easy to square it up and remove the over sized edges. I tamed it with the green print band and then added the next 4 triangles. I am pretty discouraged with it and don't know if I even want to piece the last round of triangles.
I know somebody is going to tell me to spray starch it until it is stiff. I already know that is a possible way to tame it, just not one that I ever use.
When I trimmed the first triangles, the points of the black print weren't in the centers of the sides so it is already not nice. I know with this round that I am going to measure out from the centers to be sure that doesn't happen again.
Referring to yesterday when I said maybe I would make a red one like this..............I don't think so!!!
I think I'll give this piece a couple days to relax on the table and then I'll decide how to trim it.
