Friendship Star Quilt Block
Recently I stumbled across the history of this quilt block, and it is worth sharing. This block was popular back in stage-coach and wagon days. Families were making the long trip west, hoping for a better life.
It was custom for women to make friendship star blocks for their departing quilter friend. Each friend might embroider their name on the center block, and all the blocks could be stitched together for a memory quilt. What a wonderful custom and gift.
