A Thousand Years of Friendships

Another queen-size quilt. I made this to commemorate the millenium. I finished it in 2000. Friendship star, also called ribbon star or lattice star. Usually you see the "ribbons" completed around the edges, but I chose to have the pattern just float off the edge. There are 750 6" blocks. I decided about 1/4 of the way through that I should have made bigger blocks. It's hanging in my hall.
