Carol, thank you for calling this an eight pointed star block and not a LeMoyne Star. Now, I don't quibble about too many things (and I never quibble with you), but when I see these passed off as a LeMoyne Star, I comment. This methodology makes an eight pointed star very approachable. You have several excellent videos on the LeMoyne Star and Lone Star. As you well know, mastering a LeMoyne Star the traditional way with perfect results consistently is the ultimate quilty-skill builder. It took me untold hours (to include building a calculator for all of the components). I call it my LeMoyne Star Odyssey. But it forced me to learn every technical aspect because I made every @#%$%^$^& error you could make. I ended up with a hybridized method taking the best practices from the generous sharing of many instructors.
Could you tell me how to make a 6 point diamond star with leaving the diamonds whole. 3 colors are the same in each star & they interlock. I made in 1992 & cannot figure out how to duplicate it. Help!
@@vickioneill1766 Vicki, a 6 pointed diamond uses 60 degree diamonds v. an 8 pointed star which uses 45 degree diamonds. So look for video tutorials on 60 degree. The Gourmet Quilter has videos...Carol may also have a tutorial.
As I watching you turning your pieces to the right formation, I’m thinking that’s so me , but I’m even worst. For my love for Stars, I thank you for sharing. 👍❤️😊
Could you show me how to put a 6 pint diamond star together. I made one in 1992 when I started quilting but at 72 I don't know how I did it. They are interlocking stars with 3 points of the same fabric. My brains says no way!
Beautiful block. Who doesn’t love stars? Thank you ❤
Love the fabric you are using colour combinations are great, thank you Carol.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Concise instructions and you make it look easy.
You are so welcome!
I also went to the quilt size notes blog spot. More thank you's Carol. This app helps and is a lot easier than doing the math.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching.

Lovely ❤️
