The Friendship Star Quilting Block< The friendship star block is an easy block.  It is constructed using half square triangles and square blocks. The easiest way to make this block is using the half square method method #2. Make your 4 triangles.  Use the easy measurements, so they finish at 2 inches.  Make them with a dark fabric for the star, and a light fabric for the background. Also cut out 2 rectangles, 2 7/8 x 5 3/4  (One in each fabric.) You begin by creating the center horizontal row by adding a half square triangle on each end, per the picture. Then piece the top and bottom row, per the picture, and sew the horizontal seams. The seams are usually pressed away from the center block. If you have used easy measurements, the block should measure 6 1/2 inches.     The Quilt Gallery page 01     page 02    Quilting Articles   More Frugal Living ...     Free Clipart            Frugal Happy Families           Mini Preppers           Frugal Quilting           Scrappy Quilting           This Day in History           US States Clipart           Coloring Pages   Home         Contact Info        Privacy
