The Friendship Star Quilt block is a great place to start when learning to quilt. It's really only a simple nine patch block with a few half square.

I posted about this quilt for the first time on my blog back in February 2012. It was started way before that, back in 2009. It has taken me a long time to make, but I am so thrilled with the end result and happier still to be sharing it with you!! I found this pattern in Quilt Sampler from fall/winter 2008 and I fell in love with it. I had a big bundle of fat quarters I had gotten from my mom when she was my secret sister a few years before. They were perfect for this quilt. I simply added…

This quilt was made by my local quilt guild and our members made the Friendship Star blocks last year. We pieced this quilt top together in Nov/Dec and then got a request from a local school for a quilt to raffle for their playground fundraiser. This quilt seem to fit the request as it is colourful, cheery and a lap size. At our guild we teach a block every second month and we ask members to make two blocks, one is donated to the guild the second goes into a draw. For every 2 quilt block you…

Hi Friends! I'm popping in to share a free block pattern with you today! It's such a simple, yet classic quilt block. This block is called the Friendship Star and probably took me about 15 minutes to cut and assemble the pieces. This block would be great for a swap or to make a quilt for a friend who needs a little bit of cheering up! Maybe in their favorite colors!?! You could even make some little friendship stars to use in the cornerstones of your sashing (which is what Jessica Dayon and…

Today I would like to show you a bunch of variations you can make with the Friendship Star quilt block and other blocks made using just Half Square Triangle units and squares. All of these blocks are easy to put together so they are good beginner blocks. Let's get started!

Don't these ladies look like Marshmallow Peeps? Got to give you something to look at. This is Easter holiday- like, in my view, even though it was from a Thanksgiving Day parade. I clipped it from the paper some time back because at a glance all I could see was lines of Marshmallow Peeps. They make them for other holidays now, of course. I am not poking fun or anything as I think it is perfectly charming, actually. We don't have anything like in the Midwest where I'm from or at least not…

My Friendship Star quilt is all done. It's not too old of a project, the blocks were made last year. I'm not entirely happy with the quilting, it doesn't seem to suit the block design. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now. I used up two big pieces of Moda fabric on the back. The colour isn't true in the photos, no matter how I tried, I couldn't capture what it really looks like. The dotted fabric is more of a gold and brown colour. It was nice to use up a bunch of that stuff…

The last two weeks I've been steadily working on the Brothers and Sisters Quilt, and am happy to say that I now have all the blocks finished! One of my favorites was this friendship star variation: At first glance the block looks quite complicated, but in reality it is very easy to make. It's basically a friendship star with a diamond in the square as the center, and a sew and flip triangle added to the half square triangles. For a six inch block you will need to cut four 2 1/2 inch squares…
