Sawtooth Star Quilt without a Sawtooth Star Block

This week I have been busy welcoming and starting my new Tech Know Quilters Academy students.  For those who have joined me in the Academy --  this week you should have received the first emails for your new class.  We had a lot of sign-ups and I think we got them all processed correctly -- but would appreciate a note if you are missing something.

I am also excited to share a new quilt design!  This one uses the intersection of blocks to create the sawtooth stars.  This quilt is also a great place to highlight some of your charm pieces.

For those in the Tech Know Quilters Masters group -- this design may find its way into my submission for our challenge for this month.  Obviously I am still missing components.  So stay tuned.

Dahlias at Dusk from QT Fabrics

Did you see the new free Fabric of the Month download on Do You EQ?

It is Dahlias at Dusk by Julie Lynch for QT Fabrics. 

​The collection is breath-taking and I knew I wanted to design a quilt around it.

In the video learn:

• How to add a new fabric collection for your project.
• How to draft a quarter of a block and use the clone and rotate features to finish off the design.
• How to draft a pieced sashing block that complements the main block.
• How to set up a new quilt with blocks, sashing and borders.
• How to rotate sashing blocks.
• How to detach and resize the fabric preview window.
• How to recolor individual patches in the quilt.

Here are the blocks and quilt from the video.
