Make a Variation of a Classic Block for Quilt Projects
| April 29, 2025 | Quilt Blocks
Feature Your Favorite Fabric Motifs In the Centers!
This cheerful block combines two Friendship Stars for a fun variation on a classic. The fussy-cut center adds interest and can be used to give the block any personality.
For example, several blocks with playful centers could be used in a charming I Spy quilt for a child. Or go more sophisitcated and feature a lovely bird, flower, or any motif you love.
The block will be charming in any color palette, too. Just be mindful of values to retain the block’s overall design of two distinctive layered stars.
A finished block, designed by Kimberly Einmo and provided by Janome, is 12″ square.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
