I was recently put into our Young Womens Presidency and our awesome new Pres. did this idea to make a Friendship Quilt in another ward, but we loved it so much we are going to attempt it with our Young Women. This idea you could also do with Relief Society(small one), Family, and Friends. So here are the instructions which you could change according to the size you want and amount of people involved.
You will need to provide 12 blocks. They will need to be cut out at 16x16 inches. They can all be identical or each unique. That is up to you. Your name needs to be somewhere on each block. Remember that 1/2 inch around the block will be used for a seem so decorate accordingly. You will keep one block and give one block to each of the other girls and leaders. So you will each end up with enough squares to make a quilt. One each from each person. Then we will get together and finish them. For Young Womens we are providing the batting and back, which will just be a solid simple sheet from the store. But if you were doing this as family or friends you could just supply your own and then finish or tie them together. It is really fun to see what each person does on their own. We haven't finished ours yet I will post again when we have the finished project but these are pics of my squares.
