Those Problematic Areas

The lady had troubles with this block, which is called 'Robbing Peter to Pay Paul'. (That's not a Bible story, in case you're wondering.) I doused it with starch, pressed it, and quilted. The final result is not quite as ripply as it appears in the picture; I was taking the shot from a low angle without overhead lighting. I could smush it further with a little more quilting; but I don't want this quilt that heavily quilted. I call it 'good enough'. 😏

This is the blue border that had problems. I had to quilt it fairly heavily, as it had way too much fullness in it. And the worst is yet to come -- the part below the center block. Anyway, I managed to avoid any tucks, so far.
