The LeMoyne star is an eight-pointed star, and it is the simplest of many designs that can be made with 45 degree diamonds.
There are 4 basic shapes in this collection—diamond, square, half square triangle, and quarter square triangle
and they are used in dozens of quilt blocks.
See the file at the bottom of the page for more variations!
My Mistake! I shouldn't have named this collection "LeMoyne Star" because that is just the tip of the iceberg. Please don't limit yourself to just a few stars.
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE? The Inklingo Projects blog will inspire you with more than thirty different items made with these shapes, everything from small totes to king size quilts, and most don't look like "LeMoyne Star!" To see them all, go to http://inklingoprojects.blogspot.com/ and choose 'free collection" from the list of Labels in the right side bar.
Order 3 freebies!! Monkey says you should take the free collection, Tilde's Tiny Totes, and the Guided Tour for starters. You will love the simplicity and precision of Inklingo.
This collection also includes Chapter 1 of THE INKLINGO HANDBOOK, which contains everything you need to know to start printing on fabric. Watch this little video to see how easy it is.
Why do I have to place an order before I download? Free downloads have the same copy protection as the others, so when you decide to pay for an Inklingo download there are no surprises. This free offer is an incentive to learn how to download. You are only asked for your address and password, and nothing is ever shared. (There is a link to the privacy policy at the bottom of every page.) When you discover the benefits of Inklingo as a quilting tool, we know you'll be back.
Experienced quilter? You will find these shapes easier to cut and sew, thanks to Inklingo’s precise lines for stitching and cutting, printed on the fabric.
New to Inklingo? GETTING STARTED
New to quilting? The diamonds, triangles, and squares in the free collection are not difficult for a beginning quilter with basic sewing skills.
