This is a classic block but I’m making it modern by using crumb quilting for the centre of the star.
What do you think?
So let’s make a crumby sawtooth star quilt block:

In case you missed my tutorial on crumb quilting, here it is again.
So how can you use this block. You can make a mini quilt but you can use this block in a quilt.
My lucky stars pattern
Sawtooth star is one of the blocks in My lucky stars quilt.
The pattern can be easily adapted to use crumb quilting by replacing just some parts of each block. See some designs below.


I especially like the way you combine similar colors in your crumbs.

Hi Theresa I wrote to you a few weeks ago about using the Marrakech magic block for our BOM. You offered the pattern at half price to everyone and I said I would take it to the committee. Unfortunately they felt that was a little too much as we only charge members $1 for the pattern each month. I am sorry as I really would have liked to use it but I am only one person so have to bow to the majority. I still plan to make something with my pattern but found using the copy paper made the seams way too thick. Have you tried the Carol Doak tissue foundation piece paper? I am thinking of buying some. Thank you again,
Anne Coldron
P.S. I loved your crumb quilting video and may use that technique sometime with your permission. If I do I will direct people to your videos

No worries. I’d use freezer paper. You can print on it directly or trace on to it. You can reuse the templates over n over. Check out my tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIqMtxczVJU
