Friendship Quilt

This weekend a bunch of us got together to put together a friendship quilt.  Yvonne was the 'instigator' of this project.  She gave many of her sewing addicted friends a template for the half-square triangle exchange.  Each of us was to choose one dark and one light fabric to make into the 2" squares.  Each template produced 28 squares.  Then each of the unique batches of squares were brought together to sew into a friendship quilt.  We ended up with thirteen batch of friendship squares.  Here is a sample of the squares that were donated to the project.

Then we had to begin the design process with these varied fabric squares.  The picture below shows the beginning of the design we finally choose to make for the quilt.  We added some dark brown squares to bring the entire design together.

Once the pattern was created, the bindings were attached.  Here is a picture of the final quilt top.  What do you think?  Isn't amazing how all the random fabrics that were used by all the friends come together to make one unique Friendship Quilt.

Thanks Yvonne for getting us together!  Lots of fun and laughter was shared throughout the weekend.  And now we have this wonderful quilt to donate to a good cause!!
