Friendship Blocks

This program is based on the rich history of friendship quilts in the United States. Our version has one member choosing a pieced or applique block pattern that is distributed to other members to construct. The completed blocks are given to the member who chose the block pattern. When you sign up to make one of these blocks, you are promising to complete the block and return it to the committee chair two months later.  Please see Rhonda Denny, the chairperson,  for more information about the Friendship Block program.  

New Blocks !!

Sew Outside the Block (Some of My Favorite Things) for Rhonda Denny.  Inspired by Genie Becker’s ‘Childhood Memories’ friendship block, I’ve selected topics and or things that make me happy. I plan on using each inspiration in a poem or story to accompany the quilt. If I had any advice it would be “just roll with it” and have fun!  Scroll way down the page to the title block for my quilt and click on that block.  That's where you will find more specific instructions.

Happy Childhood Memories for Genie Becker.  Think 30’s fabric or calicos or plaids and windmills or kites - and paper dolls or dressing up the cat in doll clothes, eating candy, making cupcakes, reading comics or books, Make believe; what was your favorite doll? Hop scotch and swings and fairies and fire flies.  Click on the title block below for "Childhood Memories" for more details.

The rest of the categories are now closed, but will remain on this page until all of the outstanding blocks are received.

The most recent blocks to come in will appear directly after the person's name and category.

If you have any questions or need help with any of the blocks, please contact me via email, telephone, or see me at the guild meetings.

 Thank you all for your participation. ~Rhonda Denny/ Friendship Block Coordinator.
