I'm posting this lap quilt today, because I made if for a young girl named, Lynn who's birthday happens to be today! She used to help me teach Sunday School and also led me to the part time job I now have.
Her favorite color was purple and she loves ducks! I had never made a Friendship Star quilt and thought it would be fun to try. I then decided to add the duck blocks in the corners.
It's a generous size lap quilt and I really didn't take hardly any photos, as you can see! I don't even have a photo of it completed.
This is when I was laying out the border on my bed trying to figure out how to do it.
Every quilt in those early days was a "learning experience" and still are!

I like the way the colors and pattern work in this quilt and don't know why I have never made another one. It is a fairly simple quilt with just half-square triangle blocks and plain blocks. It is the positioning of the light and dark triangles that makes the pattern.
