October Activities at BOFA

Friendship Star ~Kathy Garrison

Kathy "taught the second block of the Mystery Quilt today. This pattern is a (traditional) Friendship Star. You will note that the example on the left is actually a pinwheel pattern. The pattern on the right is the actual pattern with a modified center. It was made for a music-themed Mystery Quilt. 
As usual, all of my students are being exceptionally creative. The resulting blocks are all so different!!"
