How To Make A
Sawtooth Star Quilt Block Pattern

The block is another classic.

It is a simple design made up of squares and flying geese and can be very effective in a quilt.  

Cutting Instructions:

• Cut four 2½” squares for corners
• Cut one 4½” square for center

For the four flying geese, cut:

• Four rectangles 2½ x 4½”, and
• Eight 2½” squares.

To make the Flying Geese:

Draw a diagonal line on the back of the eight 2½” squares.  

Set one square on top (right sides together) of the rectangle.  

Make sure edges are even, and

• sew along the drawn line of the square.  
• Press towards the corner, and
• trim the underneath two layers away, leaving ¼” seam allowance.

Set a square on the other end of the rectangle (right sides together), and again

• sew along the drawn line.  
• Press towards the corner, and
• trim the underneath layers away, leaving ¼” seam allowance.

Sew the three rows (as in diagram at top), using a ¼” seam allowance throughout:

• Row 1 is square, flying geese unit, square (press seams away from center)
• Row 2 is flying geese unit, large square, flying geese unit (press seams toward center)
• Row 3 is square, flying geese unit, square (press seams away from center)

Now sew the three rows together, taking care to match seams.

Now you are done - Congratulations!!
