The LeMoyne Star 6-inch shape collection includes 45° diamonds, Quarter Square Triangles (QST), and squares. These 8-pointed stars are usually called LeMoyne Stars but there are other names. The bonus shapes (HST, half diamond, square) increase your design options.

I added one layout for the half diamond at the request of a long-time Inklingo quilter. If you downloaded this shape collection before then, you can log into your Inklingo account on the website to get the expanded version for free.
To see all of the sizes of diamonds, triangles, and squares, please see the Index of Shapes.
You have a choice of sizes including the 4.5-inch star in the FREE Diamond Triangle Square shape collection.
Use the combo layouts to save fabric and save time.

Perfect for Beginners
The shapes are a perfect introduction for beginners. Make 9-patches, Sawtooth Squares, Hour Glass, and other blocks with these shapes if you aren’t ready for an 8-pointed star.
Everything is easier with Inklingo—no measuring, no templates, no worries about straight grain, a line to cut on, a line to sew on—and there are detailed instructions for sewing and pressing on the All About Inklingo blog, so jump in! It’s fun!
The shapes are larger than the ones in the free Inklingo Shape Collection, but the ideas and worksheets in that downloadable shape collection are perfect for this too.
Connie B/CA is using Inklingo to sew blocks designed by Jennifer Chiaverini. I especially like the way she is not afraid to mix a few non-Inklingo shapes with the Inklingo ones.
Draw a 6-inch square on freezer paper and add 2 diagonal lines for 4 QST in the finished size.

Inklingo is brilliant for Star applications. The points come together perfectly and the shapes are easy to piece by machine or by hand or a combination of both. The star collections give you lots of other shapes to do Lily blocks, multiple star applications, partial star blocks and so on. Stars/8 pointed diamonds are one of my favorite shapes and Inklingo has gotten me excited about quilting again.

The LeMoyne Star is one of the most versatile shapes and the possibilities are endless. Linda has covered every printing arrangement that you would want and all the shapes are there for many different patterns such as the Peony block, Broken star and so on. Inklingo makes them all possible in minutes and you are sewing right away. So easy to have the points match whether by machine or by hand. Quilting has become exciting to me again.

Stars are one of my favorite things to make but until Inklingo they never quite came together in the center. Inklingo is so precise that my stars now come out great with perfect points. Inklingo is the best way to make. This collection is wonderful with lots of suggestions for quilts. I love Inklingo and I think you will too.

I used this to make an 8-point star and it came out beautifully! No problem matching points and no knocked off points. An essential helping hand to the precision of quilting!
