    Double Sawtooth Star uses 8 flying geese per block. My son's quilt is made with woven plaids & striped fabrics and civil war repro shirting prints; its a queen size.

    My son's quilt. 16 double sawtooth star blocks.

    Purplefiend,
    I really enjoyed your double sawtooth star quilt; it looks so rugged/masculine to me! :thumbup:

    Thanks Jan! My son wanted a more masculine looking quilt. It'll hang in my guild's show next month, then he'll get it for Christmas.
