Reverse Engineer: To examine the construction or composition of a quilt block in order to recreate a duplicate or similar quilt block.
Before we can get started building out a custom quilt block (in this case - a traditional quilt block, the Sawtooth Star), I'm going to introduce you to the concept of reverse engineering.
Reverse engineering is to examine the construction or composition of a quilt block in order to recreate a duplicate or similar quilt block.
In preparation for reverse engineering a block (like the Sawtooth Star):
Breakdown the block into a grid.
Analyze the block and break it down into its components.
There are 4 small white squares, 4 flying geese, and 1 large black square.
With is knowledge, we can now recreate the block in PreQuilt.
