My only solution to this problem, so far, is to cut out the center and applique something on top to cover the hole. I had to do this with my latest one and I appliqued a yellow star in the middle. It looks all right but there's got to be a better way. Anyone got any ideas or great tips I could use??

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous. I have never made a Lonestar quilt, but I had the same problem one time with a stack and whack pattern. Never did figure out how to prevent the mountain. Hopefully someone here will be able to help.

Yours is beautiful! Thats one that I've been researching for some time now. Wanting to make one but I know theres alot to know. I've looked at several in the LQS and they too seem to have mountains, some bigger than others. From what I've read you have to stop sewing a quarter inch from the middle. Fons and porter just did a series on that. But I didnt get a chance to watch it all. Good luck. It looks beautiful!
