    I like the wonky stars idea too. Any kind of wonky block might do okay with it. Try to wash it and block the fabric. Let it dry on a towel.

    If it's printed on you can't always straighten by pulling a thread, etc. When that happens to me I cut following the printed design rather than the straight grain. That usually means cutting in a single layer, sometimes one piece at a time so it takes more time but having the pattern run all wonky really bothers me.

    I am thinking crazy quilt...
    and then I am thinking a charity donation to local hospital with a tax ID number so you can write it off as a tax deduction!

    Send it my way, Jean! I'm picturing one of those wonky house quilts made in wonky plaids! Better yet! You make a wonky house quilt and post it so I can see my idea in living color! Hahaha! Did you buy it in yardage or precuts? If it's yardage can't you cut it so it's not wonky? I would definitely talk to the store about it. They may surprise you and take it back. In a perfect world the fabric should've been marked "flawed" or "seconds." Like I said, "In a perfect world...."
