The LeMoyne Star 8-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, and pentagon) make more exciting designs, including Lucky Stars, one of the lovely quilts in Millefiori Quilts 3.

To see all of the sizes of diamonds, triangles, squares, and pentagons, 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.

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.
