John'aLee posted links to star quilt block patterns and I thought I'd give the Easy Lemoyne Star block a try.
Maybe a zillion tiny HSTs are easier than the diamond-shapes and Y-seams... but I don't see how. Janet O. of The Rogue Quilter told me that "easy Lemoyne Star" is an oxymoron and I have to agree!
Also completed a variation on the North Star block for block #5...
All five blocks will go out in the mail to John'aLee on Monday!
I have also decided to do 5 blocks, Freda. I figured one for each quilt was good. Almost done cutting and hope to get them sewn Monday.
ReplyDeleteI had looked at that tutorial you tried, to which John'aLee had given the link--I came back to the CW links you had given. : )
Glad I did.
Love the blue one!
ReplyDeleteI cut a similar pattern for my stars a couple days ago, and they're waiting to be sewn:

It seams to be the same pattern - different name - with using HSTs. So, it wasn't easy? Hmm, hope I'm able to complete it.
Does making the lemoyne star requires cutting diamonds from a template ? If so, I'd rather go the hst way. I need to give one of these blocks a try.
ReplyDeleteNice blocks for John'a, but I don't think I will be sewing a Lemoyne Star. Are you making 8" or 12" blocks?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very cute lemoyne star though
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your help! You are such a dear!
