Courthouse Steps (Quilt Block of the Month)

The Quilt Block of the Month of December is the Courthouse Steps.  This is a great block for those just beginning to try their hand at patchwork and is still and enjoyable block to create for even the most experienced of quilters. The Courthouse Steps Block is actually a version of the Log Cabin Block which enjoyed its rise to fame in the United States during the civil war and has been a staple in the world of quilting ever since.  Like the Log Cabin the Courthouse Steps block is built around ...
