NICE fix! Wow... that's stunning!

It looks like you originally planned it that way. I think it is an improvement on the original.

Nice colors on the quilt.

Oh my gosh! That is perfect. I really like the inserts. It really adds something. Good solution.

i love how that looks. i'm gonna try it

PEG is very good at identifying & finding the solution to fix it! Great execution on your part!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beautiful, the fix is as pretty as the original or prettier.

That turned out really pretty. I had that same problem when I tried a lone star a while back. Mine ended up back in strips and I used it in other quilts. Great job on sticking it out and fixing it.

You know what? I love the way you fixed it, better than how it is 'supposed' to be. I love the colors and I think you have done a fantastic job, I would never have even attempted to start a Lone Star quilt in the first place. My hats off to you - great job!!

Peg,
I forgot to tell you, you know how the lone star got it's name? Once you make one, you will never make another!

You done a good job. I proudly would have thrown it in a fire.
I like it.

You really owe Peg now!! She designed a lovely fix.

Good for you! It will be beautiful...those colors outstanding.

Great fix.

Nicely done and the strips made it look very nice.

Great fix. It is beautiful.

Wow.....I love it!!

"WOW! That looks great!! Peg must be a genius!!

Very smart! I like I like :)

That's a wonderful and creative solution! I think it looks fabulous.

It's beautiful! Sometimes mistakes lead to something wonderful. I recall when I posted my Lone Star last August or so, and had explained why I pulled two of the borders in under the points, to give it a wider floral border, someone wrote that some of her prettiest quilts resulted from solving a problem. You just proved her right! :thumbup:

love the new design that is made by adding the strips

Beautiful. My lone start sits in a box, and I need to determin what I need to do ro ir ro make it right. The teacher had too many students and told me to do it the wrong way, after I took it to her. DUH

I must be brain dead, I can't figure out what was done.

Auntie,, post pictures,, maybe we can help you too

I love it after the fix. Beautiful.

Believe me, that very thought has gone through my mind MANY times....

OMG I think I like even better that way.Good job.

Great fix! Thanks for showing your error so the rest of us don't feel like hiding ours.

That is a beautiful quilt.....love the fix!

Wow what a great fix. You did a great job.

Turned out beautifully :thumbup:

All right; top *piecing* is finished (although I might add another border). I'm now adding just a few applique'd roses randomly, and I *may* add some embroidered vines and leaves and buds. But the worst is over.

I also have to figure out what I'm putting on the back of this thing.

I wish I had thought of doing something like this before I tossed mine out about 25 years ago, mine bubbled up in the center, and there was NO quilting it down. Yours looks great. Good job.

I actually like it better! Oh my gosh it's beautiful! Geat job!

Looks GREAT all fixed up like that!

I love it! Good work girl.
do you have enough of the rose print, or the Green? They would make a nice back.

Great fix!!! And beautiful inspector on the "before" pic too, I might add...

Is that template the desired final shape of the diamond segment? Also, when you say 'square up the diamonds' prior to sewing them together, does that allude to making sure they're all the same outer dimensions, using that template? I'm trying to learn how to avoid the center bump, too, so am very interested in any advice before I launch into a lone star. Thanks for mentioning that, too.

When you get ready to sew a star send me a pm I will be happy to talk you through it- they are really easy.

When I have puffy stuff going on in quilts others bring me I add an extra layer of wool batting in that area, a little larger then the actual area- of course I am using a long arm which helps. I like dream wool batting because it is puffier- you also can not tell on the finished project that extra has been added.
