Friendship Star. This is one of the blocks for my Kindergarten quilt in my Audrey class. It is a nine inch block and as I said some time last week, this little star is really growing on me. It is a good one for today's post since I go to Friendship Group in Blue Ridge today.
I set out to do the Kaleidoscope and the Feathered Star from the 2nd grade quilt but only got as far as cutting out the pieces for the first one. My Tallahassee Quilty Friend has her star completed. It is very pretty but has scared me off. Instead, I have been doing one of my favorite things, sewing beads. That is, I dug out an old wall hanging that I had pieced and basted and I am quilting it and embellishing it with beads.
It is called Friendship Star. It is a star I never really liked that much but it sure is growing on me. This block is a 3". That means the center is ONE INCH.
I did one by hand that took several hours and had half inch blocks. I was not satisfied with it, so I went up to a more manageable size. This was inspired by the key chain I won.

The little fob is a friendship star block. I got the idea from one of my books, 130 Quilt Blocks, by Susan Briscoe. I thought a book that features 3, 4, and 6 inch blocks might come in handy since I am pretty much infatuated with little quilts. The book was specifically written to take advantage of pre-cut fabric purchases such as stacks of 5" squares, rolls of 2.5" strips, and stacks of 10" squares.
