FINISH--String Quilt (Commission?)

Yesterday I finished binding this string quilt that I began as the first of three throws that I was asked to make. 

I quilted it on my Jazz 2 sewing machine, using this wonderfully soft flannel as a backing.

It is wonderfully SOFT......the softest flannel I can ever recall coming across.  It was 60 inches wide, I think, and I picked it up at a garage sale a couple of years ago. Not the prettiest coloring, but not really bad either.

I have two reasons for calling this a 'possible' commission. 

 #1, I hope to make up several throws, and then offer this person her choice for the three that she has ordered.

  But, #2, ....do you see those rippled strips that are here and there in this little quilt.  I have never had that rippling occur while quilting one of my string quilts (that I remember, and I think that I WOULD).  I am not happy with that at all, but I haven't laundered the quilt yet.  If the crinkly effect makes those areas look just like the rest of the quilt, I might be accepting of this one, but otherwise it may just become one more quilt that graces my own home.

Hopefully I will come back and update this post with an 'after' photo of the quilt having been washed and dried.
