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. |

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!

A darling block and what a wonderful idea to gift the outgoing president . It is nice to have a few more scraps leave the quilt room isn't it. Have a blessed day, Terry. Happy Mother's Day.
That's a pretty star block, Terry! I like the color combination and the center checkerboard, too. Your president's quilt from 2016 is a beauty!
The checkerboard center is very unique, Terry. The block turned out great!
I really like the colors in this block. It's going to look great in his quilt.
Clever to make a checkerboard center for your sawtooth star!
Striking block. And super idea for your outgoing president.
The center checkerboard really sets the red points off so well.
Your block looks wonderful! I'm sure Randy will love it!!
