New Friday Tutorial: The Courthouse Steps Quilt

The courthouse is an imposing figure in any town, and if you happen to make the trek up those stately front steps, chances are you’re about to experience something memorable. From a brand new marriage license to a triumphantly contested traffic ticket, the courthouse is the place to get things done! (And hopefully you’ll walk out those doors with a new ring on your finger and not cuffs on your wrists! Ha!)

This week’s new tutorial, Courthouse Steps, is a jelly roll pattern similar to a Log Cabin. It’s easy to put together, but so pretty and eye catching.
