Please...hit me over the head with a Fat Quarter...

Well, a sudden burst of enthusiasm overtook me last night and this morning to work on the quilt for my Omi. I was so proud of myself for getting stuck into it, and not being distracted by my BOM block, that I soon found myself sewing the borders on, and nearly finishing the quilt top.


Till when I laid it out on the floor, and EGADS! IT PUCKERED!

And badly too! The only reason it doesn't look puckered in the top photo is because it is taped down tightly. It's bad....quite bad...very bad infact. Oh you should have seen my hissy fit. I am so annoyed at myself. I had a feeling it might happen, but pushed those thoughts aside and continued sewing (maybe I did get a little distracted by my BOM block. *sigh*)

So now I don't know what to do. *sob* Any advice? Any help at all? Or am I going to have to unpick all the borders and start again, (please don't say that!) *goes off to sit in the corner and nurse some fat quarters.*

I have no advice for you... I'm only sewing since Dec 08. But I can give you a hug and tell you, I am amazed at the beauty of your work.
