Lemoyne star
#13
I used the Deb Tucker ruler and really liked it. I also like the fact she has the how to video on her website. The ruler makes several size stars from small to large. The stars do come out super nice. Unless I know I will get a lot of use from a ruler I don't usually buy one. I know I will use this ruler again because I love the pattern.

Ditto here. And it was one of the early quilts I made. You will probably have to make a correction cut every few cuts on the 45 but still easier/cheaper than buying templates.

I used a paper piece template. The diamond template I have doesn't make the ends look as nice at the paper piecing did. I made a king size from scrappys and set it together using a turquiose color my daughter requested. Plus I hand quilted the top because she wanted it done similar to the NonSuch patttern I did for her brother. If they were gifts for anyone else I would have sent them out to the long arm quilter I often use. Post a [icture when you finish it. They are a lovely quilt when done.

As a beginning quilter, I was making a sampler quilt along with several others. One of the blocks was a Lemoyne Star block that everyone was having trouble with. I happened to go to a quilt show before I started my block and saw the Deb Tucker demonstration, using her Lemoyne Star Ruler. I bought the ruler, watched the video and made my block with no trouble. One quilter who had already "worn out and discarded" a block, borrowed the ruler and made a block with no trouble. The ruler and instructions included many different sizes. I LOVE it!!
