Help! Lone star quilt, crooked diamonds
I am working on a lone star style quilt. This is my second time and my diamonds keep coming out uneven. One side is about 17” and the other about 13”. I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. I have used 1/4” throughout the process. Ironing the fabric helped a little. I am still pretty new to sewing. Any help would be appreciated!

A 4" difference from one side to the other is a lot. Are you using the strip-set method or are you using individual diamonds? As Geri above says, are you pressing or are you stretching the bias by using steam and ironing?

I would agree. I had a similar problem with a friendship braid-2 strips were fine, the third not so much. I managed to stretch it so that while it appeared to be the right length, it was actually a few sections short. yeah, managed to stretch it that much
