Description from maker

Trans Magic (self given title)

I love the transformative magic that comes from constructing little pieces of fabric into a quilt! I adore the star block patterns, but always felt too nervous by how intricate and specific they were. This was my first attempt at a sawtooth, and I'm so happy with how it came out!! It didn't have to be perfect, it just had to be made. I knew I wanted to incorporate the colours of the trans flag, and use materials that came from comfort (preferably bed sheets). I love how this little magic star trans flag square came out! It's exactly how I wished it to be!
