Piecing Purple Stars

This week's purple piecing project for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge was 4" Sawtooth Star blocks.  I began making these stars during last year's RSC, but did not have a plan for how to use them.  My plan is to continue making them this year and set them together medallion style when I decide I have made enough stars.

These stars started out as strips in my 2.5" scrap bin (thank you, Bonnie Hunter!).   I try to get all the pieces cut out early in the month and use the block components as leader-enders as I'm doing other piecing.  At this size, the blocks go together quickly!
