Friendship Quilt
I am a member of a mini group. One of the members will be moving in 5
months or less. We'd like to make her a quilt. I was wondering besides the friendship star what other type of block could be use as we want to sign the center of the block we make. As of right now we want to make it a two color quilt. Thank you in advance for any suggestion. Tamara remove the nospam to reply |

I am doing this VERY thing! :-) I wrote to Marcia Hohn requesting
permission to print out the instructions for the following star block at her site. http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/Aut...StarBlock.html She was gracious and gave me permission. Thanks Marcia! :-) She also requested to 'see' the final quilt! :-) I chose it because there are several newbies in our guild, and this is an easy block for everyone. I supplied tone-on-tone cream background fabric and asked everyone who is making a star to use any blue she has in her stash. Blue is the recipient's favourite colour. It should turn out to be a lovely two colour quilt, although each star will likely be a different blue. I can't wait to receive them all back ready to assemble.

Thank you everyone for their suggestions. Once we as a group make a
decision and the quilt is made I'll put it on webshots and let everyone know. Right now I am thinking of getting a Lighthouse panel and having everyone make an autograph block to go around it. She collects Lighthouses and teddy bears. So it's a tough choice as to what to pick for the center. But we were thinking of blue and white blocks and I think that will look good with a Lighthouse center. Tamara remove nospam to reply |
