When I floundered about in my foundation paper piecing, I totally immersed myself so that I could redirect my gray cells into working backwards. Yes, I am spatially challenged. I wrestled with the bias seam on the quilt binding (the final join), until I simply turned the work. Once I put my starting tail on the right and my ending tail on the left, my brain could instantly handle all of the remaining tasks. Yes, just a simply turn of the work.
The Lemoyne Star has its own spatial peculiarities. I'm still working on perfecting my approach using the approaches of others that I have collected on my quilting page. On reason I abandoned the registration marks at the diamond midpoint is none of my marking tools did that easily. However, this a.m. I started rummaging through my rulers, and my Creative Grids Corner clipper is the perfect marking tool for this essential registration mark. Just line the insided 1/4" line wit the outside of your diamond block and line up the the 1/4" hash mark with where the diamond turns. YOu will see a perfect little diamond
Now how easy is that?
