These are the Nanci's Star blocks - called that because I got the pattern and the blue batiks for the first 3 blocks from a friend's stash after she passed. I pulled out 3 dark red batiks, almost burgundy, to make this month's blocks. A pink batik worked for the contrasting fabric in all 3 blocks.
In the photo below the colors are extremely distorted. But the 3 blue blocks have 3 different light colors, and the dark one is the same in all 3 blocks. I think once I add a couple more colors, these will look kind of like jewels. The blocks are 9" finished.
Here is one more of the framed Friendship Square blocks to add to the collection. I used a grey background in this one, and when I begin to do more colors I need to remind myself to use a variety of light background neutrals. My plan is to pull a few each month based on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color that will work for the frame.

Nanci was your friend, I presume. These look like friendship stars (with 4-patch corners) so Nanci's Stars is the perfect name. Love the blues.
Very pretty blocks. I like your fabric choices.
