Courthouse Steps Block

This is the 2nd quilt block tutorial in a series on how to make quilt blocks using the Kouché Method formerly the Quilt as You Piece Method. This tutorial is not about making a quilt, it is about making the "Quilt as You Piece" block that you can add to the type of quilt where the blocks are joined after they are made, quilted then joined to other blocks. Like a Quilt as You Go Quilt. The size of the block I am making for this tutorial is a 10" x 10" block. The measurements for the cut size can be rounded up to the next 1/8" to allow for variances while you work.

Waste Not Those Yarn Ends
Here is another use for the thread and yarn ends that you cut off of your projects. Give a whole bunch to your kids along with some poster paper, glue and glitter and what ever else you may have and let them make a collage with them. I bet that they would come up with some very colorful and wonderful wall hangings that anyone would love to hang on their wall! The ends could also be used for covering plant pots or other wood objects and used as a mosaic medium.
