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!

These are so pretty! You have some really pretty purple fabrics. I think the medallion idea sounds cool. It'll be fun to see it come together.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty purples. I think I have a couple of those fabrics =)
ReplyDeletebeautiful purple stars. Happy Quilting Day!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and so perfect!!
ReplyDeletePretty stars. Your leaders and enders are really organised with the different sizes and shapes in the sawtooth star. I just stick to squares; easy cutting!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much you can get done using leaders and enders? Where would we be without BH? LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat stars, Angie!
Pretty stars with lovely colours Angie !
ReplyDeleteI love the layout on the design wall. Wouldn't it be great if they shared background colours with another colour/purple in the hole now on the layout?
ReplyDeleteLove your stars -- very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely purple fabrics. I look forward to see your rainbow star quilt one day.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fact that you are using Bonnie Hunter's Scrap USER System!! It REALLY helps to have pieces ready to go.
ReplyDeleteLovely mix. I wish I was a leader/ender sort of gal. I've tried it and it's not me. I never have the leader/enders cut when I have other projects cut. I hate cutting so I cut a little, sew a little, cut a little...
ReplyDeletePlanning your L/E pieces at the beginning is a great idea. I will keep that in mind for April. Love the idea of a medallion.
ReplyDeleteEverything tiny is even cuter. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet stars! Great idea to use your scrap bin!
ReplyDeleteWonderful purples and a efficient approach to piece as a leader and enders project plus using your precut strips. You're definitely on a roll!
ReplyDeleteThose are great stars and such pretty purples! Yours is going to be a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love how precut scraps and leaders and enders really move quilting along!
ReplyDeleteYou got me twice - little stars and purples - my favorite things! 8)
