Only 10 pieces of fabric are needed to make this easy Sawtooth Star quilt block. It is one of the blocks featured on my Cube Pincushion. You can make several of these blocks and sew them together for a cute baby quilt, or maybe sew together just a few for a little wall hanging. This classic quilt block looks great however you use it!
