Make the Friendship Star
You need to make the three lines to make the star. The first step is to fold diagonally one of the four squares of the same color diagonally and lay over on square of fabric (8)
Lay over this piece a square and sew by machine, open this piece and lay another square of fabric and sew by machine, open and press, this will be your first line and you need to make one more line exactly the same as this one.
To make the center line of the star, follow the layout of the pieces on the picture below of the line in the center and make one line. Press.
To make the star, you need to sew one line to the next one by machine and once you sew together the three lines, open and press.

Make the quilting sandwich.
Take the batting fabric piece and place it on your work table, lay over it the piece of fabric right side up and over it lay the piece of fabric with the patchwork star.
Pinch a few pins and run your sewing machine over the pencil line, don’t forget to leave an open space (1 1/2″) to turn the piece out.
Trim all the piece and turn it out.
Trim the piece, leave the 1/4″ for the seam and make a little cuts in all the angles, cut diagonally all the points. Turn the piece out and with the help of the scissors push the corners out (gently push).
Sew to close.
With a needle and thread, close by hand, blind stitches will do.
Do the quilting, I love to do it by hand but if you want to do it with your sewing machine, it will look great too.
