I added another block to my July Shop Hop block collection. I was able to track down more Dublin fabric (thank you Caroline) and a fellow guild member Stephanie sent me another block kit (thank you Stephanie).
The block kit had all the pieces precut, but not made from the Dublin fabric. I cannot explain why that matters so much to me, but it does! So using the kit pieces as a template, I tried to cut my own pieces using Dublin blue. This was the miserable end result for 1/4 of the block! Not going to work!
Then I got fed up with that idea and just made a modified Lemoyne star block using all HST's instead. Perfect result!

Your LeMoyne Star looks wonderful, Kathy! It does look like the original way with the templates was more complicated than it needed to be. I like that fabric, too!
Or you could put the small triangles in the upper left and lower right corners and the larger triangles sewn so the long edges are together
