The design features a central square surrounded by eight triangles that form an eight-pointed star. The triangles create a sawtooth effect around the star, giving the block its name.
The sawtooth star block was a popular design during the 1800s and was used in many quilts made during that time period. The design was particularly popular in the United States, where it was used in quilts made by settlers and pioneers during the westward expansion.
The sawtooth star block has remained a popular quilt block pattern and is often used in modern quilting projects. The pattern can be made in a variety of sizes and color combinations, making it a versatile and adaptable design.
