Courthouse Steps

This joyful quilt is the only time I have ever made this pattern: Steps to the Courthouse.  It's like a log cabin, but the pieces for opposite colors, rather than circling around. Easy and fun to make, perfect for scraps, don't know why I haven't made this again!

I made this quilt to celebrate a return to quilting after a sad period in my life.  Several years later, Christina told me her young daughter used it at night to keep monsters from under her bed!  I must have filled the quilt with joyful enerrgy when I sewed it!
