First let me say this is just lovely! I like the way you have used the colors. Now. I love making these Lone Star quilts, am in the process of making one for each of my children. This is one quilt pattern you really have to make sure you cut your pieces right and the most important...you HAVE to make sure all your seams are 1/4 inch. If you are off the least little bit it throws everything else you do off. You should have seen the first one I did, no, on second thought, maybe you shouldn't have seen it. LOL Good luck and this quilt is great looking.

Your mountain doesn't show from here but your quilt sure does look pretty.

No solutions to your problem but it is a beautiful quilt.

that is one beautiful star ,,,,,,,,, kudos to you my dear!

That is a lovely quilt. Love the colors and the creative way you inset the blocks into areas between the larger star points. I've used the Eleanor Burns method. My central mountains are now more of a molehill but it looks somewhat better. Good luck and you do great work!

I don't know, but this is lovely!

Sorry I am of no help on this one but yours is very pretty!

I made a lone star and it volcanoed on me too, but some one had told me to use a rubber mallet and wrap some thing around a brick and give it a good whack. But I did not do that. Some one else had said you will have to take out a few stitches and adjust them and such. Well I did the best I could and once I put it in the bed and smoothed it out it was fine. I'm wondering if on the center star when you make it, if you should iron the seam open as there really is a lot of bulk there. Eleanor Burn has a book comming out called Radient Star and it is a lone star pattern and I bet she will have a solution in that book. I plan to order it. Maybe I'll make another lone star. Yours is so pretty and I would leave it or try to adjust the stiching a little bit in the center as you already have a lot done on this one that it would be a shame to have to take the whole thing apart. Good luck, Huggies, Fay

beautiful lone star

Try to put it together in section of two points of your star, and make sure that you press in one direction, maybe with the top part down. Its the bulk of your seams that create the "lump"
