I've loved this pattern forever, so after making a bunch of quilts for everyone else, I've decided to make the Asterisk quilt for my li'l ol' self. I've made about a dozen blocks so far, and the one thing I notice is that the pattern tells me to press all seams inward when I'm attaching the strips. I'm doing that, but it is getting really bulky in the center of the star. I'm worried about what will happen when it comes time to quilt this thing. Has anyone else done this pattern before...any tips? Thanks.
