Courthouse Steps with a twist - for a boy, take 2

the last of 4 Courthouse Steps quilts I did for my two God-sons kidlets. The 4 quilts used material from their great-grandmother, their grandmother and me.

another of the courthouse steps - make 12 squares, cut them diagonally, pair them up with a different 1/2 and, viola'! a new quilt.

made with materials from the 70's and 80's. One set is from the great grandmother, other materials from grandmother, some from the grand-godmother for a cute little girl.

Same courthouse steps pattern idea BUT laid out in a "V" or zig-zag pattern. Started out quilting sewing needles with thread, but became too much, so switched to hearts, a few flowers and a few Mickey Mouses. Made for a dear friend I've known since junior high school.

This was one of those free patterns we all get tempting us to get another magazine subscription. Liked the pattern, but not in the colors they had. I had a stash of sewing related material that worked out perfectly PLUS some tape measure ribbon I'd bought eons ago. "Artistically" draped the ribbon and quilted the squares.

Buggy Barn method of star making and courthouse step making. Used a bunch of the fat quarter I had, so didn't need to purchase any mat'l for the front until I needed binding. Piano key border made from leftover strips. Quilted (cloud-type quilting) by a professional quilter and friend (wouldn't begin to fit with my machine or space available.)

log cabin squares; back is a Christmas fabric as is the lining.

log cabin 'squares' on the diagonal. Used foundation method so that the back could be the front. Ribbons and lace around the 'bottom' of the squares. Took me 10 years to stop using a safety pin to attach together at the top & actually take the time to sew a hook & eye.
