The Sawtooth Square block uses 2 fabrics (background and accent) with squares and half square triangle units. We're going to use half square triangle rulers to make the units so all strips can be cut at 2½ inch strips.
Fabrics
Background Fabric: Cut 1 strip 2½ inches wide. Subcut into 1 square and 6 half square triangles (see instructions below). |
Accent Fabric: Cut 1 strips 2½ inches wide. Subcut into 2 squares and 6 half square triangles (see instructions below). |
