I just found “hopefulhomemaker.com” on line when searching for some help with my large lone Star quilt.
I am having trouble getting the corner squares to fit and lay flat. I have ripped them out at least three times and purchased fresh fabric without success.
I believe the star points from “Y” to point are stretched. Any ideas or suggestions for getting them back into shape and size? Any idea if a light stabilizer would help or work?
Ideas and suggestions are gladly accepted. Thank you for your help in advance, Emma
Emma,
I have a couple of thoughts. Have you tried letting your star lay flat to see if there is a 90 degree angle between your star points? As you say, there could be stretching from the y seam to the point, or it could be that there was stretching of bias during construction and your diamond sections are not all consistent. If you want to email me a picture I’d be happy to look at it and see if I can offer any suggestions. These blocks aren’t easy, but they are sure beautiful!
