President's Block

This year for the Clark County Quilters President's block, the colors were white, black, red and gray. The pattern was a Sawtooth Star with with a plain center or any design that you desired. The unfinished size of the block was to be 12 1/2 inches.

Selected scraps 

I went to my scraps and selected fabrics. I decided I would piece a checkerboard for the center using gray and black 1 1/2 inch squares. I cut a red and a white 3 1/2 strip of fabric for the background and star points. I used Bonnie Hunter's Essential triangle tool to make the geese units.

Finished block

I forgot to take in process photos. The process went quickly! There are a few less scraps in the studio and this block is on its way to be given in June to the outgoing guild president. Making a block is a way that the members say thank you to the president. Randy is our current president. He will like this block. I hope he has fun putting together his president's blocks into a quilt!
