but I am pleased with how it turned out and the wave may leave when it is washed.
I just did a big meander because like I said, I was not happy with this quilt and felt I was doing good just to finish it.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THE TURN OUT OF THIS QUILT!
I don't know if any of you remember but after I got the third row on this quilt I went to wash off the marker that I used to mark the quilt and it ran everywhere. So much so that I had to put it in the washer.
What a mess, I had to detangle threads....I was so disheartened.
I didn't even want to finish this quilt but I decided to go ahead and do so.
Here it is, a little wavy......
but I am pleased with how it turned out and the wave may leave when it is washed.

It's so cute! Glad you powered through and finished it. :o)

I think it's beautiful,well done for persevering :) Barb.
It turned out cute! Maybe if you block it when you dry it and then steam the edges the waves will flatten out.
looks like it turned out ok any way
I think it looks wonderful Barb! Congratulations on getting it finished! :0)
Sorry all that happened but looks good to me! You going to hang in your sewing studio? As a attagal! You fought the running marker and won!
Came out great!! Hope it washes up & gets the wave out!!!
I like it, Barb!! Good for you for fixing it after the problems. Sometimes a good, long break from a problem project makes it so much easier to work with when we finally come back to it.
Hey - when you did the stitching, did you use an outline stitch or something else?
I think it looks great. Someone will enjoy cuddling under this quilt. Are you still doing stitcheries?
Oh, I love your birdie quilt. Glad you decided to finish it. It turned out so nice!
It is beautiful Barb, I love the border fabric.
Awesome finish!
Turned out very nicely. What kind of marker did you use. I ask so that I won't use it on my quilts.
The birdies quilt looks great. Glad you got it done despite the heartache!
I'm glad you finished it! I just love those little birdies!
You certainly do not see the problem in the photo, Barb. It looks great.
Wow, a great save Barb; and worth it!
I like it!
You're a wonderwoman....I sure can't see any issues! It's great!
well you did a great job rescuing the quilt. Don't worry about the wavy borders just enjoy the quilt. We all have waves.
The embroidery is so cute. You should be proud of it.
You should not be so hard on this little quilt. I love it!
I think that is a great quilt! Congrats on the finish!
Barb I love the way this quilt turned out - and I remember how upset you were when that happened but it worked out beautifully. I love the colors you used in the embroidery. blessings, marlene
