#3 Double Star Friendship Quilt, "We are Stars", Paula Carver

I started this quilt for my best friend from high school from when we both attended Ellsworth A.F.B.'s Douglas HS and Rapid City Central.  I feel that we are two peas in a pod and that while each of us are unique stars, we shine more brightly when we are together.  I know there are imperfections in this quilt be neither of us are perfect; soooo, it's perfect!!

The two colors I chose were shades of purple purple because purple is her favorite color the dark to represent her and light with flowers for me.  Here are the 2 strips sewn together.

The strips have been cut into squares and I have added the pale yellow squares which will be the background on the quilt the line is the sew line and the other 1/2 of the triangle will be trimmed off.

Now here's the back where you can see the 1/4" seams sewn and ironed.  They are interlocked.

Here they are before set in rows.

Two rows are sewn here note the pattern of the light and dark stars.  The final was  5 rows x 5 columns of squares approximately a baby quilt size.  I decided to buy about 1 1/2 more yards of each to make it closer to a lap quilt.  Will post more as progress ensues.  

Here it is finished:

Idecuded to name it we are stars!

Now I just have to label it.
