Lemoyne star
Has anyone done the Lemoyne Star and what template/ruler did you use. Deb Tucker has one and then Jan Krantz has a different ruler and puts them together a bit different. I love the lemoyne star. Anxious to hear your response or advice.
Thanks, Evelyn in Sequim WA |
I don't use templates for a lemoyne star. I cut strips, and use the 45 degree line on my rulr to cut the diamonds.
|
I've done the same as kristakz, although I do have a 90 degree ruler (with 45 degree angles)
|
I would not have a clue how to do that nor how to assemble them. I have never made the star before. I have only used templates and you tube videos. Thanks though. Will keep looking.

I did mine with HST.

You can't get a true lemoyne star with HST's, unfortunately.
Another option is a template set I own. Marti Michele's Perfect Patchwork Templates, Set H (Large Hexagon plus) comes with 2 diamond templates, One for 1.5 " diamonds and one for 3" diamonds. You could get 2 different sizes of lemoyne stars from those - but you'd have to work out the setting blocks yourself, so maybe that's not such a great idea. oops. But she has set E - lemoyne stars: http://www.frommarti.com/eandf.shtml Maybe that's what you need. |
Really wish I could edit that last post. Hexagons and the associated diamonds don't make Lemoyne stars, of course.
But the link is right - she has a lemoyne star template set that would do what you are looking for. |
I have watched a video of Deb Tucker using her templates to make the Lemoyne Star. I love how it looks but, I have enough patterns I want to make.
|
I paper pieced it and it came out perfect. I think it was in a book by Alex Anderson from the library.
