Sawtooth Stars Finish

It's a finish! 

Sawtooth Stars (aka Orphan Curtis)

40 x 60


I started making blocks last year when I was working on emptying a box of 3 inch width scraps. I used scraps from that box for Star points.

This is also an orphan block quilt. I used 5.5 inch unfinished orphan blocks for the Star centers.  A couple of the orphan blocks were mine but most came from others. Since blocks came out of the orphanage for this quilt it got the name Orphan Curtis. 

I quilted it with swirls on my sewing machine. 


The backing has a garden theme.

And sew on...

Great way to put those 5.5 squares to good use. They look good in the stars. Congrats on another wonderful finish. Orphan Curtis will be adopted by a good home for sure. Enjoy! ;^)
