Can someone tell me the name of this block? Thank you!
 

This beautiful block was [ATTACH=CONFIG]404497[/ATTACH]made by a quilting friend but she doesn't know the name of it. Can someone help? Thank you!

this is a Lemoyne star.

Carpenter Star or Carpenter Wheel.

carpenter's star. can be made easily with half square triangles. any size.

As nativetexan stated, you can make it from any size HST. Here's one I made with 12" squares:

A carpenter's wheel is 8 squares by 8 squares. This is a simple 8 point star.

It's a LeMoyne star.

But this was made wth 5" squares...2 of each of 3 different colors. Then they are sewn into 3 squares.....each of the 6 squares sewn RST to one of the other colors....giving you the 3 squares. They are each then cut on the diagonal each way and then sewn together. It is then finished with 4 corner squares.

I'm sorry if this sounds confusing but I don't know how else to explain it....but it was such a simple block to make.

Marcia Hohn at Quilterscache calls it "Starflower". Easy block and looks so good.
