I am quite frustrated at the moment. Iceblossom, your measurements were spot on. Thank you again. However, I missed a crucial element in the photo of the pattern, that I am trying to reproduce. Here is a link to the photo in question.

You can see that the star 'floats'. I can get the same effect by adding a small border, but it totally throws off the block measurement. The alternate block is nine-9 patches. If done with 1 1/2 inch squares, it will finish at 9 inches. Hence, my search for a 9 inch Lemoyne star.
I guess I could go with an 8 inch star with 1/2 inch border all around. Or I could make my life MUCH easier by using 2 inch squares in the alternate block and a 12 inch Lemoyne star, with a 3/4 inch border around it.
This quilt would be for our LQS's current Challenge and I would like it to be as authentically 1930's as possible. Not that I'd go so far as to hand quit it though or do as heavy quilting as the blogger did! This is going to be a hard decision.
