Sawtooth Star block is my absolute favorite quilting star block ever. Ever!!! Strangely though, I've never made a quilt using this block. I had plans to do so a few times already, but the thought of all the flying geese and points that need to match up put me off every time. Until now, that is.
See, I already managed nine stars (inspired by this beauty) in the last few days and I absolutely, positively adore where this is going . They look quite traditional, don't they? I'm sticking with only red, white, and some black for the blocks and I'm hoping the finished quilt will have that vintage-y kind of vibe. Fingers crossed :).
I'm using a Quilt in a Day Small Flying Geese ruler to make my geese and I must say, this ruler (and the method that comes with it) is absolutely amazing. I had to read the instructions on how to use it at least two or three times as it's quite different from what I was used to, but once I understood the steps the geese were a breeze to make.
And such precise points. Oh, my!!! My flying geese blocks finish at 3.5" x 6.5" and are perfect building blocks for the 12.5" stars.
Happy looking geese, aren't they?

ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your color and fabric choices! Texty fabrics are just lovely and fun in those stars. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that's your favorite block! At first from the little pic on my phone I thought they were signature blocks but I see it's fabric! I'm curious about the ruler. Is there minimal waste and they come out perfect every time? I have a couple quilt in a day rulers and none of them disappoint.
ReplyDeleteSuch precise piecing and wonderful fabric choices!
