Friendship Star Variation Quilt Block

 

I found the pattern for this 12" Friendship Star Variation block free on-line at:  http://www.quilterscache.com/F/FriendshipStarVariationBlock.htmlIt is the second block of my Starwood Quilt, which I made as part of my monthly quilting group.  We chose this block in honor of our friendship.  Many of us have been friends for years and years.  It takes a long time to grow an old friend!

Notice that I placed this block on point.  The basic block is 12" finished but 16" finished with the blue outer fabric. 

A sampler quilt is my favorite kind of quilt to make.  Making different blocks keeps me interested and helps me learn new skills.  Choosing which block patterns I want to use to commemorate my home and community greatly adds to my enjoyment and creates a one-of-a-kind quilt.
