Blocks

Sawtooth Star

I like to take old blocks, such as this Sawtooth Star block, and change them to make new blocks.

Since the Sawtooth Star block is symmetrical it can be split into 4 identical units. The units can then be reassembled various ways.

Each unit has 4 corners. In the original block the #1 corners are in the center.

What if I reassemble the block so that the #4 corners are in the center?

What if I reassemble the block so that the #3 corners are in the center?

What if I reassemble the block so that the center contains both #2 and #3 corners?

What if I reassemble the block so that the center contains both #1 and #4 corners?

What if I reassemble the block so that the center contains  both #1 and#3 corners?


I won't go through all the possibilities. I think you can see from these examples how easy it is to reconfigure new blocks from old ones.
