However, I just couldn't get the idea of using brighter, multi-coloured backgrounds out of my head. So, I've amped up the colour this time round and am super happy with the additional depth and interest created by the medium/dark backgrounds. Most of these fabrics are from Anna Maria's 'good gracious' collection, I'm finding limitless possibilities from this vibrant fabric designer.
Once I'd made 16 sawtooth blocks I began auditioning for the borders, looking for something just to corral all those colours. I initially thought I'd use a couple of purples for my borders but am really liking this gorgeously messy garden print, all the floral vibes without me faffing about with any applique✅

You're having fun creating this lovely quilt! That border is perfect, happy creating!
Your design wall looks delicious!
I can't keep up with all your wonderful ideas. These blocks are so colorful and creative.

Ooh, this is just scrumptious, Linda! I love those Anna Maria prints and they display so nicely in these sawtooth star blocks. What is the finished block size?
more stars - love them and love the prints too
Looks like you're gonna end up with another beauty. You have such a way of mashing colors together, to make a smashing design. Your fabric stash must be something because I couldn't begin to put together anything that looks like this. What fun you're having!
I agree about the floral border fabric - it plays so well with the blocks without dominating them. A very fun quilt to look at.
