LeMoyne Star Quilt Block Without Set In Seams

[@cazfromoz1]

Hey ladies, you can work this out - just take a close look at the pieces she's using, as she demonstrates, with her verbal instructions. This method will make one quadrant (1/4) of the 8 pointed star. Then you need to make 3 more the same way and you'll have the whole Lemoyne star block :). It's so easy, I love it. Here's a hint...the rectangle is 3" x 6 1/2" , the small square is 3", the large square is 4", the unfinished block size is 12 1/2". Now, you can do it, too!!!!!!!....PS: Don't forget to press seams open...:)

Thank you very much Carol for the informations regarding the sizes of the different pieces.

[@patriciazuleta7668]

Carol, thank you!

[@Marla.22]

Thank You

[@catherineeddy3805]

Thanks very much. Carol

[@MylbsLife-ny7fy]

You, ma'am are an ANGEL! Thank you!

[@marydivo1688]

Looks like a smooth and care free block to do this way. I think this will be my next pattern to use.

[@lorrainecooper137]

Oh my word where have you been all my life! I have so many templates I don't even know what they are for now. THANK YOU 😍

[@jaynegreen6279]

Erin, You make that technique look so easy. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Thank you for the tutorials!

[@francesmcburney1291]

Thank you, I have always wanted to make this star but your way is great and I understand it. ❤❤

[@nitasheth9283]

BEAUTIFUL AND SO EASY DEMONSTRATION. THANK YOU.

[@bkartoz]

If anyone actually wants the magazine noted, the link doesn’t work. However, I googled mcCalls quilting magazine, Sept/Oct 2015, and it went right to it. They sell digital downloads.

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for helping me to reach proficiency with the Lemoyne Star!!

[@juliaboster829]

Can I get the size of the star each piece

[@sandranichlos5446]

I love the technique!!! I just made this star with the set in seams and it was confusing and a pain!!! I will be using this technique from now on!!!!!

[@susannorwood6811]

Thanks! That is so much easier that set in seams! I've been wanting to make a mixed block quilt with this block, but never have because of the difficulty. Now, I can do it the easy way!

[@klmueller8575]

I have the magazine but nice to see a video too. I am currently making 3 Lemoyne stars with Christmas fabric for a table runner.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

One way to reduce waste is to upsize the square and make 2 HST's which are sewn on the diagonal when joining the two blocks.

[@Elleffe]

I was thinking the same! Great idea and I’ll test it today!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@Elleffe I now use the set in seams to make these beautiful blocks. Once you master it, and you will with practice, you will omit the extra seams.

[@lavitti9517]

Thank you so much!! What an easy way to make the star!! 💕💕

[@syndiciancimino8521]

Why didn't I find this sooner! Thank you....do you have a way to size these?

[@njame2137]

Great tips and the “ Add a quarter” ruler is brilliant for this too, thank you great tutorial

[@annphilbeck5174]

Love this. I know I have this magazine, Will be checking it out. Thanks McCall's!

[@frankiesam8933]

What are the measurements of the fabric please? I would love to try this, but I don’t know what to cut. 😉

[@susanabaquerizo8494]

Fantastic! Easy and Fun! Thank you very much!

[@catherineeddy3805]

Thanks very much Carol

[@cynthiabrewer1765]

What size is the rectangle? It looks like it might be 2 1/2 inches like from a jelly roll. Frustrating not having the measurements.

[@carrieanntedesco7521]

Thanks for the pointers. I need all the help I can get.

[@annebabcock1371]

Will someone please give me the dimensions of these pieces? Please don't tell me to do the math. The magazine is not available, either. Thanks.

[@triciasteinfeld4174]

Tried to buy the September/October 2015 issue by going to site. Not a choice on the site. Why do they make it so hard if the want to sell their product?

[@odessayork5038]

Please tell the sizes of the pieces. Thank you

[@lucyrodriguez2082]

I love it !

[@sarahhopkins2669]

What are the measurements of the the rectangle and square? Do you just make the size up? Very strange directions

[@adyguzman5854]

Beautiful!!

[@maygualidagonzalez1278]

Gracias está genial y facil d hacer🥰

[@elainemcatee4347]

Hi Erin, love the technique, however, I am matching my raw edges up perfectly but my star points are not lining up, any advice?

[@ashleyeaston3133]

So I'd like to make one that half the size... can I just halve the piece sizes?? Should that still work?? I've try some test ones and none look square! Not sure if it's just my cutting/sewing or if my dimensions are wrong to begin with. So frustrating! (I've been trying 1.5x3.25 rectangle, a 1.5x1.5 and 2x2 squares...) help!?!

[@tflores6091]

Love the tutorial but I have a six point star that was give to me but is not blocked, what do you suggest on how to finish.

[@sandywilson8478]

How to get sizes to make a 6.5 inch square. Please

[@pathixon9121]

What an quick & easy way to make Le Moyne Star. It will also use up my scrap bag! But where are the instructions for the measurements to cut, am I missing something? Pat the Quilter

[@rmartin8887]

Pat Hixon Hi, I think you have to purchase the magazine, McCall's Quilting September / October 2015 to get the measurements for this block. Bummer huh?

[@cazfromoz1]

+Pat Hixon , see my comment at the top with measurements. Let me know if this helps...

[@nancycogar3864]

My BIGGEST DREAM is to make a queen to king size star quilt. Is there a good pattern out that I can use!

[@mauriceiasousaveras8798]

Perfeito 👏🏻👏🏻

[@TPHSpanishclass]

This looks so easy, but my finished block is 11". Is it possible to include A WAY TO TRANSFER THIS IDEA TO MY MEASUREMENTS? I am not good at math, but I definitely can follow a formula. Please help

[@elainearmstrong7051]

What size is square etc

[@teresaacook7958]

I bought a precut package of star I need to see how tonight them together help

[@devanste50]

I like that block but what size is your finish block , that you worked on.😊

[@McCallsQuilting]

This block is 12" x 12" finished.

[@margaritamivida3307]

McCall's Quilting

[@maritaambrosius6994]

Hello , what extent did you use?

[@TinekeWilliams]

[@cynthiabrewer1765]

[@cazfromoz1]

[@marge5053]

Thank you helpful

[@joycekumar4782]

great idea!!!!

[@josiedalton4468]

baby quilt

[@gingerjihnson8915]

I orderd the back issue of sept. oct .2015 and I filled out all the money and shipping and never got a confirmation on Why??? today i did this

[@singe0diabolique]

The set in seams don't bother me. It's getting those 8 points to meet in the middle without a belly button that stumps me.

[@charlottebarnes6761]

Why not give us measurements instead of selling your magazine

[@sharonbeeghly7857]

nice and different, but why not include the sizes instead of referring to the magazine.

[@berniceporter7392]

It would have been useful to have the measurements . Then if it worked out, I would have order McCall's Quilting to see new easy ways to make Quilts.

[@melindat5711]

I've been sewing long enough that I can figure this out on my own. I'm just amazed (maybe I should say shocked) that they would make a video for this then tell you to buy the magazine to get the rest of the instructions. I'm watching this for the first time 3 years after the fact. Really McCalls?? People use this site to find help. All you did is disappoint.

[@archanaghag2744]

Needs measurements

[@elenavstc]

Just got better

[@heartcrochet7050]

U should give the sizes to attract more viewrs and subscribers

[@francesmcburney1291]

Can someone give me the measurements I would pay you for them. Thank you 😂❤

[@СоняС-в7ю]

Работа прекрасная. Способ пошива звезды понятен, а нигде ни единого размера не показано, для русско язычных швей проблема, а жаль, что такая подача работы, всё только за деньги?

[@КубанычбекЖекшенбекуулу]

‘Л

[@figgy7099]

Nice, but there is as much waste as there is star. With all the wasted fabric you could have made a whole other star.

[@jannyb55]

I think it would have been nice instead of using a plain mat to have used a cutting mat with markings for those of us who can't afford to buy the magazines and patterns.

[@PDizzleB]

Not only is it frustrating and completely insane but they just lost a customer with me because they feel to get the sizes of things. They should take a lesson from Jenny at Missouri star
