Friendship quilt block

 

The Friendship quilt block is relatively easy to make, but it can be a bit tricky—especially when it comes to seam matching. Once you get the hang of it and choose the right value contrasts, this block can really make your quilt stand out.

It’s also incredibly scrap-friendly, making it perfect for using up leftover fabrics with just a single block!

By simply changing the color placement or fabric choices, you can easily create many variations of this block using the same technique.
