2025 QAL: Block 2 - Friendship Star

Welcome back to our 12-month quilt-along! If you're just joining in, don’t worry—there’s plenty of time to catch up. Our first block, the Churn Dash, is already out there, and today, I’m excited to introduce Block 2!

This month’s block is perfect for beginners—it’s a simple, straightforward sew that comes together quickly. If you’re new to quilting, this is a great way to build confidence, practice accuracy, and enjoy a fun finish without frustration.

Customizing Your Block

For those of you who are more experienced, there’s plenty of room to make this block your own! Try adjusting the size, playing with color placement, or even adding a bit of extra piecing detail to create a whole new look.

Speaking of size, this month’s pattern includes four block sizes—3", 6", 9", and 12"—so you can mix and match to fit your vision!

Fabric Requirements

One of the best things about this quilt-along is that you can easily sew along with scraps! But if you prefer a more coordinated look, here’s what I recommend for the full project:
✅ Background fabric – 2 yards
✅ Fat quarters – Around 24 (more than enough for this quilt and then some!)
✅ Border fabric – 1 yard

This should leave you with plenty of fabric to make this quilt more than once or to have fun playing with color combinations!
