I don't know the solution, but that is beautiful.

Your Lonestar is beautiful!! :thumbup:

That is a beautiful Lonestar. I have the same problem with mine. I tried the hammer trick and it helped. After that I have found my quilting took care of the rest.

Make the seam a tiny bit larger as you go inwards toward the middle.

Very pretty.

It is a Beautiful Quilt, and I am quite when you quilt it it will lay flat.

An older book, but has been most helpful to me. |

When I made my Lone Star the instructor told us to make all your diamond star points, then sew two together, another two together and so on until you have 4 stacks of 2. Then sew 2+2 together, another 2+2 together, then you have 2 stacks of 4. then press well being careful not to stretch fabrics, then sew the two sections together and you only have one seam to contend with. Mine turned out fine using this method. Hope it works for you. Good luck. By the way I think yours is beautiful. Can't wait til it's done.

This isn't a lonestar but the same concept of all the pieces meeting in the middle. The seams are sewn as normal and they are all pressed in the same direction, it just swirls around the center. Mine don't all meet exactly but it still lays perfectly flat.
