So why did I choose this block for my current project? Happenstance. (I still get queries almost every month from quilters looking for her pattern more on that below). I dreamed it up in 2014 to replace a basic Sawtooth Star block in the very first sampler quilt I ever made, Catch a Falling Star, based on Terri Krysan’s Reach for the Stars quilt. It’s basically a glorified Sawtooth Star but I’m calling it Dawn’s Star because I’ve never seen this particular version anywhere before - except in one of my own quilts. Here’s the latest addition to my current sampler project.
