Large No Y-Seam Eight-Point Star Quilt Block Video Tutorial

My mom's "signature quilt pattern" was an eight-point star.  Usually, it was a Lone Star or Broken Lone star quilt, which is one huge block for the entire quilt.  The problem is I absolutely hate y-seams.  So I have been on a mission to make an eight-point star quilt block with no y-seams.  I also wanted it to be in my "signature quilt" style which is larger than normal blocks.  This no y-seam eight-point star is a seventeen-inch block!
This large lemoyne quilt block has no y-seams.

This quilt block is a collaboration with QT Fabrics.  They were kind enough to send me over the fabric for this no y-seam eight-point star quilt block.  I will have a complete project for this block over the weekend.  I love the Patchwork Farms fabric.  The fabrics I used for the star remind me of the handkerchiefs that my dad always carried in his back pocket.  His handkerchiefs were usually navy blue though.  If you want to do a smaller block Squash House Quilts has a 9 1/2" version.

Fabric Suggestions For 18" No Y-Seam Eight-Point Star Quilt Block

The fabrics used in the video below are no longer available for purchase.  If you are wanting the farmhouse feel of the original block I suggest the following fabric lines:

The digital mock-ups in both patterns available below use QT Fabrics BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.

This method may look wasteful on the surface but it isn't.  Each time you make a no y-seam eight-point star quilt block you are actually making 3 quilt blocks at once.  You will get 1 eight-point star quilt block, 1 mini pinwheel quilt block, and 8 half-square triangles.

    Thanks for the update on this block. Also for giving us a good large block to easily make a large quilt. I have a king size bed and there are not many patterns for a king size or else they are a lot of blocks. :)

      Robin I don’t like to make a ton of blocks so that’s why I enlarge the blocks. Much quicker to make 30 blocks instead of 60. Glad you enjoyed it.

    The larger size also makes it easier to manage for those of us challenged by seams and points. Thanks for the tutorial of a very pretty block. And your work is wonderful Melissa.

    Beautiful star! I have made several of these but like your bigger version. You mentioned a Broken Lone Star pattern. Do you have a tutorial or pattern?

    LOVE IT! This would also make a fantastic wall hanging ( 2 x 2 = 36" + borders).
