Five Large Sawtooth Stars

 

It’s a mistake I’d never have made if I saw this quilt kit in a store instead of online. I assumed it was a lap quilt or sofa throw, and these “large sawtooth star” blocks were about 8” finished. The price I paid wasn’t bad for a kit of that size. (That should have been my first clue. Isn’t absolutely EVERYTHING selling for about twice what you’d expect?) I didn’t realize my error until the package came in the mail and I started thumbing through the directions. These “large” stars are actually 4” finished, not eight. And the quilt, when it’s complete, will be just a bit larger than my state fair challenge quilts – somewhere between a wall hanging and a table topper. The finished quilt size was in the listing, plain as day. I just wasn't paying attention. It’s true what they say: he who will not read has no advantage over he who cannot read.
