-> Hello Pat, 
-> Tell me please what the pattern for the friendship star is?  I could not 
-> find it in my pattern book. 
-> Thank you my little chickidee!!! 
 
Sure can.  It is not a hard pattern to make.  For a 6" finished block you
need 2 fabrics.  Out of the background one cut four 2 1/2" squares.  Also cut
two 2 7/8" squares and then cut these in half diagonally.  Out of the other
fabric cut one 2 1/2" square and two 2 7/8" squares (again cutting them in
half diagonally).  Out of the triangles, place one background triangle right
sides together on the 2nd fabric triangle and sew on the long side.  Do the
same for the other 3.  This gives you 4 half-square triangles.  Put your
block together as shown below:
