Description:

Patchwork quilt blocks don't get much easier than the Friendship Star. But simple doesn't mean boring when you choose beautiful fabrics.

As for this swap: Swapper Requirements - 4.0 score or above, Newbies just contact me.

Swap Requirements - This finished block (when you sew them ALL together) is 12 inches, so what you are turning in is 12.5 inches. The fabric choice is yours, but the center fabric should be light and the background fabric should be dark. It would be kind to consult with your swap partner to find out what they like and don't like.

Square directions below:

Background Fabric - Cut 8 squares 4.5 inches (you will need 4 for the Half-Square Triangles - HST)

Star Fabric - Cut 5 squares 4.5 inches (you will need 4 for the HST)

To make the Half-Square Triangles (easiest method) place right sides together, make a LIGHT pencil mark from one corner to the other and stich along the line, then trim 1/4 inch from the stiched line and press open. Voila!

NOTE: Please pay attention to "which way" your star is turning.

More pictures are on my blog (this swap link) or you can contact me for more help if needed.

Cheers, and happy swapping.

My first block was a beautiful blue and a buttery yellow. I think cream, light yellows and shades of blue would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hurray!! I loved this swap the first round! Count me in!! I'm pretty open as far as colors go, I just really dont care much for lime green or brown.... well unless its brown and pink. But other than those two colors, I will love anything that is sent :D

My block was blue and yellow also. A perfect fit for me and beautifully done. I wouldn't mind having an entire top of blues and yellows.

Sign me up!
I am leaning towards blue/white, red/white or black/wite. However, as long as it's not neon, thimbleberries (drab type colors) or novelty I'll be extremely happy! Thanks.

i'm really excited for this one! my fabric likes are pretty simple, i like bold colours, not really into severe patterns but anything that matches. love red, black, fuchsia (sp?)... anything bold and eccentric.

Anything pretty, but do not want novelty, solids or pastels. Thanks, Lori
