The LeMoyne star, also called the Lemon Star, looks as complicated as the name, but we will make it easy! First, this is what you need for one of my LeMoyne Stars: The fabric:. A Fat Quarter of each is a generous amount 1 Background Solid, mine is white. 2 Medium Prints, OR contrasting solids. For our purposes, they will be labeled BG (back ground) P1 (print 1) and P2 (print 2). The entire star consists of twelve 2 1/2" HST's (half square triangles) and 4 solid blocks. Our block will finish at 8". Cutting: Cut two 6 1/2" squares each of P1 and P2. Cut two 6 1/2" squares of BG Cut four 2 1/2" squares of BG Let's make the HST's. Here is the roughly drawn chart I go by when I'm making 2 1/2" HST's I will be using the 6 1/2" square grid to make 8 of each BG + P1 and Bg + P2, and P1 + P2. Yes it will make 8 of each but I will end up making more blocks with these. First draw a 3" grid on the back of the lightest fabric of bot
