Mini Sawtooth star quilt block

I love star blocks in any size and this 3″ star block is a cutie.

Today’s video demonstrates how to make the block with foundation piecing.

I chose to make this 3″ block with foundation piecing because it’s a lot easier to get an accurate block with foundation piecing than with traditional piecing when working with small sizes. Traditional templates however are also included in the download.

I use regular copy paper for my templates but you may find it to be a bit thick in this size, particularly if you’re learning foundation piecing.

In that case you can use special paper for foundation piecing if you prefer.

Let’s get to it!
