Friendship Star Quilt Block Pattern

Patchwork quilt blocks don't get much easier than the Friendship Star. But simple doesn't mean boring when you choose a deep, black background and sew a bunch of stars in vibrantly colored solid or tone-on-tone fabrics. I've included directions for two finished quilt block sizes -- 12-inch and 6-inch, and yardages for one block and thirty blocks.
