Friendship Star Block

This is the 9th quilt block tutorial in a series on how to make quilt blocks using the Kouché Method formerly the Quilt as You Piece Method. This particular block, as with most blocks, cannot be made purely with the Quilt as You Piece method but can be adapted. Parts of the block are pieced in the traditional way, then sandwiched in the QAYP method. This is a good block to do some chain stitching!

Random Quick Tip!

Weaving in Ends
Use a metal yarn needle for weaving in your ends when knitting and crocheting. The needle is sturdy and you can split strands of yarn when you weave your end in and go back and forth with your weaving stitches. This makes the end more secure in your work. Also make sure to weave your end in the back of your work where it will be less noticeable. If weaving in crochet thread ends, use a metal tapestry needle for ease in working with the smaller size of the thread.
