Classic Jacob's Ladder Quilt

I have always liked the simple blocks of this particular version of Jacob's Ladder.  There are versions with more units to each block that are also beautiful, but this is the one I liked!  The blocks look like anvils, with a pattern of stairs running in one direction.  And it HAD to be in 2 colors, white and this mustardy yellow.

I made mine with 2 1/2 inch strips and 5 inch squares.
A summer finish, machine quilted 1/4 inch from the ditch and along the ditch of the center of each block.  Light, nice drape for the 100% cotton batting.   It turned out as I had hoped it would! Sold 2021
