Description:

UPDATE: I have had jury duty all week and so I am changing the SEND date to Monday 2/5. Thanks for understanding.

Make six modified "friendship star" quilt blocks, two for each of 3 partners. Use these instructions for a finished 12 x 12 inch block: https://www.thespruce.com/friendship-star-quilt-block-pattern-2821927

Details:
1. Make the star portion of the block from 1 fabric color. It can be print or solid. Sender's choice.
2. Make the background using a white-on-white print fabric or solid white ONLY. No creams or ivory.
3. The triangle corners should be the same as each other, but can be a contrasting or a coordinating color to the star in the middle.
4. Use 100% cotton quilting fabric ONLY!! No flannel please!
5. The block you send to your partners should measure EXACTLY 12.5x12.5 inches to allow for a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

You will have three (3) partners and send two (2) pieced blocks to each partner. You should receive a total of 6 blocks back in the mail.

It is my hope to have this same swap every month for several months! It is my goal for us to each have PLENTY of blocks to make a nice sized scrappy quilt over time, made from other swappers all over the USA!

Please, do not sign up if you cannot to commit to sending the blocks. Life happens, if you have to send late, please communicate to your partners and also to me, but please try to finish on time. No one likes to not receive an item.

This should be a quick and easy block to sew, even for a beginner quilter. Since this swap is sender's choice for colors, you can start sewing now so the blocks are ready by the time I assign partners. You will have 2 weeks to mail them out after the signup deadline.

No required rating but if you have 1's or 3's within the last year please send me an explanation. Newbies welcome but please ASK QUESTIONS if you do not understand. Most of all, have fun! Any questions? Please ask.
