I was told once by a 'master' quilter, that the center will almost always flatten out with quilting. I've found it to be true with the few stars I've done--tho I haven't done a lot of them, they always seem to pucker in the middle.

I went back and checked all my seams converging on the center. There were two that were not the correct 1/4 inch. Once I corrected this , the center is now perfectly flat . Thank you all for your suggestions.

I made a radiant star and had the same problem but decided that taking it apart and trying to fix it would only worsen because of the bias...so I left it and since it was just for me I am hoping that the quilting will fix some of it...anyway I don't think that you could see it from a galloping horse..lol..
