Create An Eye-Catching Block with a Sawtooth Star

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.
