Oh QE, I have also been tempted by this block. And I have a gazillion strips I can just get started with. I wouldn't PP, but start with a 1.5" square in the center and use 1" pieces for the courthouse steps ending with a 3/4" cut "frame. Then start with a 4P made of 1" squares and add 1" strips to make the triangle shape....hmmm....oh another project to think about!
