Great advice from all posters. One thing I've found helps is to press all your seams open when joining the segments together; this allows them to lay flat and keeps that big lump from forming in the center.
I just finished pp Carol Doak's 50 Fab PP Stars--they all had 8 sections coming together and I didn't have the lump/bulk problem just by pressing my seams open. I'd visit her website--lots of great advice.
