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.

Your purples are awesome and so are your batiks. Great work and it will be fantabulous when quilted. Thanks for sharing. I have some of your batiks myself.

It is a glorious quilt. Purple is the color of healing of the spirit. It is far more calming than blue. It reminds me of joy. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE this quilt... LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt!!! Thank you so much for sharing... I have the pattern to make a quilt like this... found it in a quilt magazine several years ago... I occasionally pull it out and look at the pattern, but it intimidates me...

Your quilt is spectacular!!

Dragonfly Nana 08-15-2011 04:47 PM

A stunning use of your beautiful batiks.
