Courthouse Steps Block

This is the 2nd quilt block tutorial in a series on how to make quilt blocks using the FrankenQuilt 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.

Random Quick Tip!

Pencil Cups
Any plastic containers which is tall and skinny can be made into a handy pencil cup by crocheting a circle to fit the bottom of the container then continuing in a pattern stitch up the length of the container keeping it the diameter of the circle size on the bottom. This is how I made the pencil cup with the round Crystal Light container.
