Friendship Quilt
Friendship Star
Gentleman's Fancy

Fool's Puzzle - the group decided you had to be a fool to attempt this one. All joking aside, this is a great block to practice your hand piecing on. Cut you larger piece (background) first. Also, you could definitely applique your shapes on top.

Elise did it by machine and had to use a lot of pins and then clip her seams dressmaker style.

June SBS meeting

Blocks to make for for June are:
Glorified Nine Patch
Grace's Friendship
Grandmother's Fan
Grandmother's Flower Garden
Grandmother's Pride
Grape Basket
Gulf Star


Glorified Nine Patch- the templates actually work
Grandmother's Fan - Quilting News Network has good video turotials. Candy suggested going there for video tutorials for pie wedges for the Grandmother's Fan block.
Grandmother's Flower Garden - use 1" hexagon and English paper peicing using Sue Daley's method.
Grandmother's Pride - use Elise's foundation paper piecing draft
Grape Basket - Use Freezer Paper Template method; no way to make it without making templates
Gulf Star - Use Foundation Paper Piecing method
