Friendship Bracelet Quilt

As kids, we braided friendship bracelets with colorful embroidery floss. (Green and yellow for Cindy. Blue and pink for Linda.) In a way, they were just like quilts: Fun to make and even funner to give away! Natalie’s Friendship Bracelet quilt is all-nostalgia with 9-patch blocks, shoofly blocks, and “bracelets” of half-square triangles. Made with the dreamy pastels of Windham’s Spring Dreams layer cake, this quilt is as bright and cheery as those treasured childhood bracelets.
