Lemoyne Star Quilt

Designed by Gina Allen of Ginabean Quilts for The Little General Fabric Boutique

51” X 68”

 

The Lemoyne Star blocks were constructed using Deb Tucker’s Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler © and the Tucker Trimmer III© ruler.

1/8 yard of 12 Assorted Prints for Stars (1.5 yards total) or 1/4 yard of 6 Prints

3½ yards Background Fabric for the Stars, Squares and Setting Triangles

3¾ yard Backing Fabric

½ yard Binding Fabric

59” x 76” Batting

Cutting Instructions:

Cut (1) 3 ¼” strip from each of the 12 Assorted Prints or (2) strips from 6 Prints. These strips will be used for the points of the Lemoyne Star Block.

Background:

Cut (12) 4 ¾” strips from the background. These strips will be used for the background of the Lemoyne Star Blocks.

Cut (2) 12 ½” strips. Sub cut each 12 ½” strips into (3) 12 ½” squares for a total of (6) 12 ½” squares

Cut (2) 18 1/8” strips. Sub cut (3) 18 1/8” squares from these strips. Cut each 18 1/8” square diagonally twice (from upper left corner to lower right corner and upper right corner to lower left corner).  These will be the setting triangles used in the sides, top and bottom of the quilt. A total of (10) setting triangles are needed.

From the fabric remaining from the 18 1/8” cut, cut (2) 9 3/8” squares. Sub cut each square once on the diagonal. These will be the (4) setting triangles used for the corners of the quilt. 

Block Construction: Pair together a 3¼” strip with a 4 ¾” strip for the star block. You will need 6 pairs for the Star blocks. Each pair will yield enough to make 2 star blocks. (12) 12 ½” Lemoyne star blocks are used in this quilt. Using the directions provided with the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler, piece together 12 star blocks.

Layout the quilt referring to the quilt diagram. Sew the blocks together in diagonal rows. Press the seam allowances open.

Layer the quilt top with batting and backing. Quilt as desired.

From the binding fabric, cut (6) 2” strips for binding.
