It's a finish!
Sawtooth Stars
40 x 56
8 inch blocks.
One of the things I decided to do with them was make Sawtooth Stars. I dug into my little box of 4.5 inch squares to look for a star center that kind of matched the Flying Geese bodies that would become the star points background. Then I dug into my 2.5 inch width scraps for a scrap that kind of matched the Flying Geese bodies and long enough to cut four 2.5 inch squares for the star corners. After I had my block background and center I again looked in my 2.5 inch width scraps for contrasting star points- a piece long enough to cut 8 star points with my easy angle ruler.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines.
The back
. It is difficult to see that it is an aqua with paisleys. The binding is striped.
And sew on...

Another terrific finish! Scraps are in good hands with you :-)
I love the saturated colors in this one! You know, it just occurred to me that quarter square triangles are goose bodies……talk about a “duh” moment. Somehow I always thought of them separately
Love all of those saturated colors and the stars! Someone is going to love that quilt!
That's so pretty, Cathy! Such a great way to use those flying geese blocks. I also like how sometimes you see stars and sometimes you see diamonds and four patches when you look at the quilt! Great finish!
Beautiful ich colours singing together in your quilt.
I love the colors of your quilt, and using scraps is just a bonus!!!! Well done.
Such a good way to use those flying geese units.
I love those rich colors. You really did well to find matching fabric. It looks like you planned it all ahead of time.
Beautiful finish, Cathy!
What lucious colors!!! You rocked the jewel colors so well!!
I'd like to surround some scrappy squ like this.
