      Pamela Schenck On this quilt I did work from the center out because of the design in the center.
      • 2 hours ago
    • Pamela Schenck
      Pamela Schenck my theory is the center panel of fabric on the back was slightly full and I didn't have enough tension on the side clamps.

      Pamela Schenck DH noticed the only place the folds happened was in the center panel of the three widths of fabric sewn together for the back
