Friendship Star

 

I'm making a practice Friendship Star block for another project, and I thought I'd use some of the blue and yellow and green fabrics I'd pulled for the Sunflower blocks for the Wrap the World in Quilts Ukraine Project. These means making a bunch of HST's, I'm using the 2-at-time method, so out comes the marking tool and an erasable pen.

I had to cut them all down to size, ao I used the mini rotating mat that I have and it really helped speed things up.

That's a lot of trimming! But now they're all the right size (4.5") so hopefully the block will go together easily.

I laid out the blocks to check out the placement of the colors.

A view of all the seams on the back, pressed open.

There it is! Another 12.5" block done.
