What Can I Do

To A Friendship Star








To Make It My Own?



























Traditional blocks do not have to be traditional blocks. You can make new blocks from old ones if you put the pieces together differently.







If the two half-square triangles on either side of a Friendship Star block are rotated, the result is a new block that looks nothing like a Friendship Star block.

This may be an odd looking block but it makes some very interesting quilts.








There is more than one way to rearrange a traditional block.

I wonder what you could make with this version?

    Me too. That's why I put it first. However, I think the accent border needs to be moved out a lttle.

  3. I love the first one. When I saw it I thought of my son. He is a graphic design major and would love the moderness of this quilt.
