A centre square is surrounded by four flying-geese units whose triangles form the eight points of the star, with a plain square in each corner. Those crisp, jagged points look just like the teeth of a saw — which is exactly how the block got its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has a long paper trail. According to quilt designer and historian Jinny Beyer, the Sawtooth design appeared in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFarm \u0026amp; Fireside\u003c\/em\u003e magazine in 1884\u003c\/strong\u003e. A little over a decade later, the famous \u003cstrong\u003eLadies Art Company\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the first businesses to sell quilt patterns by mail order — listed it as \u003cstrong\u003e\"Evening Star,\" Block No. 5\u003c\/strong\u003e, in its 1897 catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e⭐ Did You Know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis little star has collected a whole constellation of names!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years it has been called \u003cstrong\u003eEvening Star, Variable Star, Eight-Pointed Star, Cluster of Stars, Square and Points, Nameless Star\u003c\/strong\u003e — and, most charmingly, \u003cstrong\u003eAnn's Doll Quilt\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's because quilt patterns travelled from quilter to quilter, from magazine to newspaper, and each community often gave a familiar block its own name. Yet through all those changes, \"Sawtooth\" has remained the name most quilters know it by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧵 A Little Heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sawtooth Star is also a \"parent\" block. Quilters soon began playing with it — placing a star inside a star, adding ribbons, or turning the points — and the Ladies Art Company's 1897 catalogue already included variations such as \u003cem\u003eStar in a Star\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRibbon Star\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEight Hands Around\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStars have always held a special place in quilting as symbols of hope, guidance and celebration.
