This block is another fairly simple one. It's a 9-patch centre with a courthouse steps variation. Some of the strips are fairly narrow so I cut them wide and trimmed after sewing just to help with accuracy. Here we start with all the pieces cut and laid out.
Here I've started on the centre 9-patch and sewing any of the outside units that I could. (I try to chain piece anything I can)
Here is the finished 9-patch and all the outer units pieced, trimmed, and ready to go.
Now It's just a matter of adding the outer units... Sides
Top...
Sides....
Top...
And Voila! Our next block in the series. I hope everyone is enjoying this quilt as much as I am.
Happy Easter!

are you using a pencil or chalk pencil to draw a seam line on the back of the fabric like I do with Dear Jane? I usually leave my freezer paper templates on until I am ready to sew so I don't loose track of what goes where but I am assuming you are doing it this way to show how you are constructing? I am not decided still on if I will make this quilt. So many ideas --
