Courthouse Steps (using this tutorial but 2.5" strips) for Kirsten in the Wish circle at do.Good Stitches. I love this oversize version of the block! I promise my blocks are square...just a lopsided photo ;-)))
Making this block brought back memories of one of the first quilts I ever blogged about - the Silver Anniversary/Courthouse Blues quilt made for my husband and our 25th wedding anniversary.

Here are a few Aerial blocks I completed while at Sew Down. This paper pieced pattern by Carolyn Friedlander is great for a beginner like me and fun for a workshop setting. See...I occasionally am productive in workshops....although I do prefer to chat and get to know my quilty friends ;-) I haven't decided where I am going with this quilt, but I liked using combinations of shot cottons and Carolyn's fabrics.
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy stitching,
I like the rolling diamond block.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who did Debbie's block at the end of the month. Jealous that you went to a Sew Down too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a total Carolyn Friedlander fan too, and am totally jealous that you had a class from her. I have bunches of her yardage in my sewing room, and I think her second line was as great as her first. Fun to see your blocks. I clicked over and read about your Courthouse Steps quilt--such a sweet story and you guys are obviously still in love if you'll make (and quilt!) such a lovely quilt. Loved your wedding photo, but you look really great now!
