Would anyone know of the pattern for Lemoyne Star? It has 8 points and I need directions that are not too difficult. I would be most appreciative to find such a pattern to buy or to find on the internet. Thank you. :?:

I have just finished a Lemoyne Star using a ruler I bought at a quilt show. So simple and no "Y" seams. I've loaned my ruler to a friend so I don't have the web site, but if you google "deb tucker lemoyne star ruler" you'll find several sites, plus the tutorial. I am now inspired to make a whole quilt with the Lemoyne Star.
