This batch of stars has a mix of brown & pink scraps plus some of the brown paisley from an estate sale men's shirt.
These darker brown scraps are left-over from a Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt from years ago. I did a different colorway than Bonnie and wound up calling my version the Ice Cream Quilt.
I have a general plan in mind for all these Sawtooth Stars, but for now I'm just going to keep making them every month and enjoying the scrappy fabric play.
Who woulda thunk that brown stars could sparkle so prettily? Loving the ones with pink in them, and that geometric one too!
ReplyDeleteI love your sawtooth stars - a block that makes every color pretty!
ReplyDeleteA lovely set of stars made during BROWN month!! I have to tell you that I didn't recognize your quilt as Bonnie's Orange Crush. I had to go look and your is YUMMY!!

ReplyDeletethe sawtooth star really lends itself to this challenge. Good stuff Angie
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I've shared how much I love brown, and these are really sweet!
ReplyDeleteLike the way you've found brown with pink in your fabric stash for these star blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe stars are pretty and delicate, a nice variation of the brown theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of brown. I love brown and sawtooth stars. The browns make them look rather vintage.
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious fabrics in the sawtooth stars.
ReplyDeleteWonderful browns. That little bit of pink does make the stars sparkle.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics in those. Love the paisley you found at the sale. Does that make me a 60s/70s girl??
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the others, Angie, that your brown sawtooth stars are exceptionally lovely. In fact, I have so many leftover brown scraps that I may just sew some up myself!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks, Angie! I love the polka dots and that brown/pink paisley!
ReplyDeleteSuch cuties
ReplyDeletePretty stars! The paisley fabrics look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLovely little star blocks.
ReplyDeletegreat brown stars! Love the prints.
ReplyDeleteYour sawtooth stars are so pretty - with just the perfect amount of pink! And thanks for the idea to make my last few February Quilty 365 blocks with brown and pink. I think I will go do that!
ReplyDeleteYour stars are looking good. I ended up only making a couple of brown stars for my collection so far. There may be more as the year presses on.
ReplyDeleteYou made pretty brown stars !!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
