    If you look at the picture in the directions, that's the way it's put together.

    I changed and put the light where the dark is and dark where the light is.

    I'm glad I made ONE block - I could not see myself making a whole quilt with this block. To the quilter that does....I bow in awe!!!

    Here are 2 pictures. The yellow is bright and the wrinkles are from too much spray starch...which I'm sure will quilt out.
    Another pretty star!

    quiltinghere, if you iron your block with a steam iron it should take those wrinkles out after starching!

    I thought I would try another approach but I'm not happy with the way it turned out. I really didn't have the right colors to make the shift from blue to yellow. Also, it doesn't go very well with the other blocks. But I thought I'd post it for the idea. I'm going to try again with different colors.

    Here is my June block and a pic of all my blocks. May take the friendship block out or make another with some yellow in it.

    Just put a yellow center in your friendship block. Should be easy to take apart to do. :thumbup:
    I love your color combo............

    I love this variation! I was going to try something like this but did not have colors that worked.
