RSC 15: Scrappy Sawtooth Stars

October will be a month of brown and gold scraps for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge participants.  I don't have a lot of specific plans for how I want to use up my brown scraps, but several ideas are percolating in my head.  I hope I can make the time to do lots of scrappy sewing this month!

 
I started out the week with a few more orange Sawtooth Star blocks.  It was fun to fussy cut some University of Florida fabric scraps for the center block. 

 
And I cut parts and pieces to make some more 4" Sawtooth Stars.  Just need to cut the white background fabric and these will be ready to go.  In case I haven't mentioned it before <g>, my favorite method for making Flying Geese blocks is "Speed Piecing Method B" in this tutorial from Quilters Cache. 

I'm about to head out with Dear Husband to enjoy the gorgeous Fall weather that has finally arrived in South Louisiana.  I'm hopeful there will be time for some stitching and RSC blog reading later today.

    Nice finish to ORANGE month and you've gotten a good start on BROWN. As for Flying Geese blocks... I'm more of a Speed Piecing Method A person, myself. That's the BEST part of quilting... options!!!

    Love the browns for your centers! Those gator colors are great. Hope you get more sewing time this month and enjoy those cooler temps. I am loving the 70-72 degree day we are having today.

    Your fussy cut pieces are cute! I like finding those little surprises in a quilt. Glad you are enjoying some nice weather, we are about to wash away after days of non-stop rain. :(

    The gator and animals are adorable in the star blocks. We are leaving later this week for New Orleans, I hope the weather is nice.

    I LOVE your gator star. But I'm wondering if your tiger is stalking the confections or the antelope. And thanks for linking to the tutorial...I'm going to try that method.

    Fun orange stars, the gator especially. Love your browns. I think I have some of that tiger fabric sitting in the stash.
