Your friend looks so pleased and he should enjoy it for years to come.
I don't know what the name of the block is, when researching friendship blocks, Google images made it appear before me. I don't remember my search terms, but I save the photo for inspiration knowing someday I'll be making a signature quilt. I did that two weeks ago.
One thing I forgot to mention in my post, is that for the seven days I worked on this quilt, I did it at camp in my trailer. That includes cutting, sewing, squaring up blocks, pressing, sandwiching, and quilting and binding. I guess not having Internet or TV really cut down my distractions and kept me focused.
