Lattice Top Friendship Path

Lattice Top Friendship Path is another Stash Pot Pie quilting group challenge from 2010.  Not only was this group designed to use up our fabric scraps, but there was a wide variety of blocks we learned.
The Lattice Top Friendship Path quilt combines two popular blocks, the Friendship Star and a Nine-Patch variation sometimes called Thrifty.  Like the frame on a picture frame, there is also pieced border called Twisted Ribbon.  I think it is simple but stunning.

A funny thing about trying to use up your stash fabrics - it seems that I use one fabric from my stash and purchase a few more fabrics to construct the quilt.  And since I always make my quilts larger than the original pattern I buy extra fabric so I always end up with more fabric.  In the end my stash always gets larger.
