Shades of Grey - Friendship Block

 

Welcome back for my second week with the Shades of Gray Tour! This week I'm sharing my take on the Double Friendship Block. 

Yellow is the universal color of friendship. I thought it was the perfect pop of color for this block. I decided to go with a lighter gray for the smaller star points. I chose this direction as a nod to those friendships that are the backbone of our lives. The friendships that you know will always be there, no matter how much time has passed, no matter how busy lives get, they are your people. I also made it the center of this block. Those friendships keep us centered and steady.

While yellow is the color of friendship, I love the idea of making multiple blocks in our friend's favorite colors. What a rainbow of joy that would be.
