I found the pattern for this 12" Friendship Star Variation block free on-line at: http://www.quilterscache.com/F/FriendshipStarVariationBlock.html. It 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.

Wow, Love this block. I'm not sure if it is the color or the pattern, but I really think this block is great. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the feeling of motion that block gives. (might have to try it)
