Well, it will be when I get it sewed together! I have cut out the first of the four Sawtooth Star blocks for the baby quilt in progress. I have put together a little, portable sewing kit to take this project on the road. Lately, I find that I may get more done if I can do a seam here or there while the kids are working on school work or while waiting for kiddos at the orthodontist, etc.
It's four blocks, so I don't see this as being an astronomical time hog. Now, if I were doing a couple of hundred Drunkard's Path blocks or something, I can see hand piecing as really slowing things down, but just four blocks doesn't seem to be so daunting.
I will try to take a few pics tomorrow (when the light is better) of my little sewing kit and (with luck) my block. Then I will have to cut out another one! I am afraid that I will have to purchase another tan shirt or two in order to make this work. I hate to buy more, but I want this to be really super-cute!
I have never really done many star blocks before and I always have a hard time lining up the star points. I am hoping that hand piecing will allow me to make it look really nice.
