This is called Double Sawtooth Star from McCalls Quilting 2015 block reference.

I swear a consistent 1/4" eludes me! I promise after a 10 year break from quilt blocks I am definitely humbled by my machine. For years I used my 1991 Pfaff 1473 that I LOVED. During mask making it almost died and I bought my current machine sight unseen and untried, boy what a new learning curve for this old dog.

Thanks in advance for "grace" with my inconsistent construction. These were definitely sewn with cursing but no wine.

It’s been a really difficult time.

My sister’s husband went into respiratory failure a week ago Tuesday. I received my package on Wednesday, but I was at the hospital. Sadly, my brother-in-law passed away last Friday. It has completely turned our family upside down. He was only 66, and they were never able to determine what caused the respiratory failure.

I’m finally home today and will start working on my blocks this week. I’ve truly enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful creations—they’ve brought a little brightness during a hard time.

Thank you all 💕

Hey, if you don’t have the batiks to go with my whales or lobsters, don’t sweat it or make a special trip to the store. Just use your solids or totals… and if they have a little green or purple in with the blue, that’s fine.

Here's my 2 color version of a Buckeye Beauty. I really really liked this so you can expect to see others using this pattern.

Even though the one fabric looks like it has a pattern in the photo, it's all the very same muslin looking fabric ... just a trick of the lighting.
