Create An Eye-Catching Block with a Sawtooth Star
| June 25, 2024 | Paper Piecing, Patriotic Quilts, Quilt Blocks
Several Sizes Provide Many Options!
Elevate the Sawtooth Star block with a 16-patch center. Careful placement of colors and values can make the center appear woven or to look like Buffalo plaid. Or mix it up for a more scrappy look.
This beautiful and impressive block will stand out in many types of projects. Five block sizes give you many design options.
Traditional colors are stunning in the block. Or have fun and choose a more unconventional approach. Either way, this block is sure to wow.
For ease of piecing and precise results, the block is constructed with paper piecing. You’ll find an excellent paper piecing tutorial here.
Designer Ingrid Alteneder from Joe June and Mae provides instructions for the following block sizes:
- 6“x 6“ (6 ½“x 6 ½“ unfinished)
- 8”x 8” (8 ½“x 8 ½“ unfinished)
- 9”x 9” (9 ½“x 9 ½“ unfinished)
- 10“x 10“ (10 ½“x 10 ½“ unfinished)
- 12”x 12” (12 ½“x 12 ½“ unfinished)
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
