Module 02a | Reverse Engineering

Before we can get started in 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.

Help Guide

When reverse engineering a block (like the Sawtooth Star):

  1. Breakdown the block into a grid.

  2. 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.
