My Own Tiny Lemoyne Stars

Last Autumn,  I shared a few quilt show photos that I was quite taken with--tiny Lemoyne Star quilts all set differently:

I assumed that the stars had been hand pieced  or sewn with inset seams, but my friend Sharyn clued me in to how they really were made.

 If you look closely at the star block, you can see the seam through the light squares--turns out they are cut from strip sets using a special ruler!

Of course I had to search out a ruler for myself--it's the Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star ruler that you can find HERE.
There is also a video that show you how to use it HERE.
  Deb Tucker (who invented the ruler) demonstrates how to use it--much better than I can show you!
Of course it also comes with thorough instructions.
My one tip: put a dab of rubber cement on the underside tip of the ruler.
When it is completely dry, you will have much less slipping of fabric at that narrow point when cutting your strip sets.

Aren't they cute?
