    Hi - I just finished piecing this huge Courthouse Steps quilt. It measures 115" square - what was I thinking?!!
    It will get sent out for quilting and I or the quilter will post pics when the quilting is finished.
    Mitering the corners was tough - the strips are 3/4" thick and they stretch!! It is done in batiks I brought back from Bali.
    When I was in high school, purple was my FAVORITE color and I wore purple to school every day - yeah, weird....
    Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out - just sharing with all of you!!

    I don't like purple but I think it may now be my favorite color too. :) Stunning to say the least! You did a great job.
