MANY DESIGN CHOICES
There are many more variations with the instructions in this Shape Collection. These are just a few of the extra blocks using these shapes.
PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS
The shapes are a perfect introduction for beginners. Make 9-patches, Sawtooth Squares, Hour Glass, and other blocks with these shapes if you aren't ready for an 8-pointed star.
Everything is easier with Inklingo—no measuring, no templates, no worries about straight grain, a line to cut on, a line to sew on—and the download includes instructions for sewing and pressing, so jump in! It's fun!
SIZES
The sizes may seem strange (1.32, 1.86, etc.) but they are perfect for the LeMoyne Star in the famous Dear Jane™ (G-8 Justin's Comet).
 4.5 inch LeMoyne Star is "Justin's Comet" in Dear Jane™
All Inklingo shapes are named with the finished size (minus seam allowances). Odd shapes and sizes are easy with Inklingo because you don't have to measure. (Imagine measuring 1.32 inch or 1.86 inch with traditional tools!!)
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 a few stars.
WHAT TO MAKE To see what quilters have made with these shapes, go to The Inklingo Projects Blog and choose 'free collection" from the list of Labels in the right side bar. Tilde's Tiny Totes, Lone Star, LeMoyne Star, and many variations. It's inspiring
