I Googled true friendship star quilt pattern and saw that there is more than one pattern. Some are the traditional four point "true" friendship star and some are 8 point stars around a middle square. The direction the star points is apparently a function of how you turn the star and that looks like it's a matter of your personal preference. If I were doing it, it would point left, but most seemed to turn right. It's your quilt. Do it your way. If the quilt police have an opinion, make them get a warrant. froggyintexas
