saw the answer on the ricky tims show , do not sew to the end of the seam at the centre always make sure you leave 1/4 of an inch.loved your colours, well done.

I agree it is beautiful and love the colors. You might be able to quilt this center flat. Jan

This is the prettiest lone star quilt I've seen. I don't know the answer but to me it's looks great.

Sorry if this has been posted already...Pam Bono uses something like this and sells them on her site.

Those are really nice colors. I took a class for this from Jackie Robinson. I haven't finished mine. Only 1/4 of it. So I guess I can't help. I do know that it shouldn't be handle a lot because of all the bias's. If I remember correctly, I belive there was a certain way of pressing it. I'll have to look through my notes. It's been a few years. LOL

I have never made one and I can't answer that but seems like I saw a tute somewhere about that exact question. You might want to search lone star quilts. or go to Sharon Schambers site. That is really a pretty quilt you did great. I love the colors in it. Gerbie

The quilt doesn't show any mountain in the middle because I cheated! I cut out the middle where the bunching happened and appliqued the yellow/orange star on top.
BTW, Thank you to ALL of you who have given me some ideas to try out - and I WILL try them all. I've already promised myself that I will NOT cheat on my next Lone Star and I will strive for a perfect center! (Yeah, right - I can hardly wait!!!) As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained and I really want to learn how to do this.
Thanks again, for all the wonderful ideas.
