Yikes! What happened?

This morning I completed the Asian-style wall hanging. The fabrics came together in such an amazing, extraordinary way.  I love the look of this piece. One problem,that could prove difficult, is that the large center panel does not lay flat. EEK! I have read many accounts from long-arm quilters that quilt tops that do not lay flat cannot be quilted well, or in some cases, at all. I hope this is not the case because (1) this is a gift and (2) the visual effect of the fabrics is pleasing and beautiful. Just looking at it makes me feel calm. I have decided that this piece will be titled "Tranquility," not that I feel particularly tranquil right now knowing I have this little challenge to resolve. Every quilting project presents the opportunity to learn, problem-solve, and - ideally - to avoid making the same mistakes.  I am hoping that the perfectionist in me is just being overly critical. I'll have to wait to hear what my quilter has to say.  Yet another adventure in "quilt land."
