Before you begin designing your block for theClass Friendship Quilt,

take a few minutes to view these quilts.

• You will be designing a paper quilt block,

8 1/2” square, on a 4-patch or 9-patch grid, so

look at these quilts with that in mind.

• Look for color schemes that appeal to you and

designs that you feel are interesting. Use the

ideas you find here as a springboard for your own design.
