Shark's Teeth (in fabric!)

I designed this block in 1998 and it was published (as a digital file) in Quilt Magazine. I called it Shark's Teeth (why, I don't know). I've made it in a variety of fabrics (Christmas, novelty, solids). This one uses some Kaffe Fassett fabrics and solid shot cottons.

Here's the full size quilt top I stitched using the Kaffe Fassett fabrics. There was a LOT of paper piecing going on! There are 16 blocks (each block has 4 units) and I even coordinated the shot cotton backgrounds with the 2 greens and the orange. Don't you just love that outside border/

I am also selling this quilt TOP. This was not quick piecing by any means, but I certainly enjoyed the process. Do you remember some of the process shots I shared a few years ago? This is how I worked out the background colors to be balanced. I put them on the wall and then rearranged them. This photo is Arrangement #1 (which I didn't like).
