Have you been wanting to try a little quilting but feel intimidated? This is the project for you! This easy and simple pillow made with Half square Triangles (HST) is a great introduction to piecing and quilting. Experienced sewers will also love showing off theirs skills and making something quick :)
You will need a 16'' x 16'' pillow form, and 18'' x 18'' piece of cotton batting, two 10'' x 10'' pieces of gray quilting weight cotton fabric and two pieces of 10'' x 10'' quilting weight cotton white fabric. For the backing you will need 2 pieces of 17'' x 15'' cotton fabric. Finally, you need fabric scissors, ruler, pencil, sewing machine, thread and iron/ ironing board.
Here is the link to the blog post I made where you can find the "map" to the LeMoyne Star Block ~ gingercake.org/gingercake/?p=5022
Here are some links to the products I use...

-the clear plexiglass ruler! amzn.to/2Hq4YBj
-the self healing mat with grid! amzn.to/2Ihj5MZ
