Friendship Star 411 - Michael Miller Fabrics' Making it Fun #86 

I absolutely love your videos you explain things in simple terms and I love that you have tons of fun I also adore Michael Miller fabrics. Love love love the colors

I made a Double Friendship Star quilt using red, black & gray. Turned out beautiful for my daughter's best friend since 2nd grade. Thwy both graduate from high school next year.

Thanks for sharing your great ideas and math ❤

Churn Dash was the first quilt block I made with HSTs and Friendship Star was the first star block I made. Those 2 blocks, along with Disappearing Pinwheels and Log Cabin are still at the top of my list of favorites

Thank you Rob. I’m self taught and appreciate the tutorial. Margaret. South Africa.

Love your explanation. It helped me very much.

You do a great job explaining the ‘ways’ and ‘why’ of designing and making a quilt! Thanks for your video’s!!

U are so kind and make it all fun, u are patient. My man is now quilting. God bless you child of God.

Thanks so much Rob!

Instead of messing with 7/8 inches, I just use 1 inch and trim down. I find it more precise that way. Thanks for your videos.

Wow Rob. You did an excellent job explaining this to my mew quilting brain.

Love this block and the colors!!!

Thanks Rob, so glad your back weekly! 🙂

As I watched this video I got a chuckle out of your friendship star becoming a ninja star! Too cute!😉 keep up the good work and stay safe

I love watching you and how you explain things. I also love your energy!

Appreciate the color theory when choosing colors!

New sub here. Having fun, that’s what Jerry Garcia said life was all about. Kudos. What’s up with the quilt in the background. It reminds me of the Volcom logo. Let’s make that! I’m kinda new at quilting but have made 9 quilts since I started when covy hit. So refreshing to see a gentleman doing quilts. Right on.

Thanks for video. Love the 3 colors.

Love your colors. And I like how you explain the mechanics of building the half square triangles, it makes more sense in my brain more. Thank you Rob!!

I want the lagoon, purple and the green ombre! They are awesome together.

👏👏👏💖

Love this block! And the colors are fabulous. Thank you for these videos! They are super for me as I like things to match.

Love the close up of you actually sewing. I’m a newbie and seeing you showing how to place the squares and where to place the needle really helps !

Very cute quilt block! Thank you so much!

You explain your tutorials very well and make it lots of fun, thanks from Innisfil Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

I absolutely love the three color quilt!

Traditionally, the center square of a Friendship Star is a solid with the maker’s signature on it. Love the three color star version!

I live the 3 colored Ninja Star version. Thank you for that option.

Yes, it is a parallelogram (has at least 2 opposite sides that are parallel-)one of my kids is just finishing this at school or I wouldn't remember either! And I love your energy and humor in these tutorials. Thanks for the tutorials (really helpful and fun) and the good vibes we all can use especially these days.

Love your videos. I started quilting during quarantine last year, and watching your vids is so inspiring. Thanks for all you do!

Sweeeeeeeet

Been sewing forever. Never knew that half sq. triangles need to be cut larger. Thanks

thank you!!!

Your videos have really shown me awesome MM fabrics. I love the ones you are using! Totally has me interested in looking for MM! P.s. love the ombre.

This block is so cool

It would be cute if each of the friendship stars had a miniature sampler (ex: 9-patch, 4-patch, wonky star, pinwheel, etc) that came from a mini block swap!

Hmm I like plaids . Wonder what it would look like. Going to have to try it.

Soo oil looking Rob 👍 love the illustrations n colors👏🏼👏🏼🥳

Great job, Rob. Wanted to see the scrappy version...sigh. :(

Is there a pattern for the quilt behind you the Michael Miller one. ps finally found Michael Miller fabrics in the UK so happy.

Your ruler looks like a Quilter's Select and I have that one and like it but I also have the Creative Grids ~~Itty-bitty eights(?) or whatever is called. I don't use it often but maybe it world help some folks. Plus adding the highlighter tape.

I really want to purchase the Ombré, but can’t find it

I love your chalk pencil. I just can't find a happy solution for marking lines while quilting. Are you allowed to share the brand?

There's always so much pressure when you're in front of the camera! Things you know- all of a sudden you don't anymore.

The Friendship star is the only block I have never been able to do. All instructions make them with half square triangles. We can see that. But where is the quarter inch so that you don't lose the point in your star??? I'm totally baffled and no one shows how to get that quarter in into the half square triangle. Help please.

7/8… why ? If you are not a “perfect” cutter the square might end up smaller and needed to be redone. Much easier to round, instead of 3 7/8 cut 4. And then resize the final square.

Have you made a 🏄🏻‍♂️ quilt?

I don’t know if it’s called a parallelogram, I would call them an italicized rectangle lol
