That 5th round of the Stay at Home Round Robin (announced over a week ago) is taking WAY too long! The prompt was for log cabin blocks and I opted to do the courthouse steps variation. Let me just say that log cabin is probably my least favorite thing to sew -- boring! And I can never keep them square.
My cutting table is an absolute mess.
In the meantime I have already finished round 6 -- with four kite blocks for my corners.
I had made a bunch of tiny 4-patches (2" finished) with the leftovers from Round 1; they became the base for my courthouse steps. The "steps" are cut from 1-1/4" strips, finishing at 3/4". So my blocks will finish at 5". After several attempts at color options, I decided to make them all pink and black alternating with the background. It feels like a never-ending process, but with luck I'll be finished with the top before the final reveal! I'm thinking this will be the orientation with the black edge against the body of the quilt, but that decision will be made when I finish the courthouse steps blocks.
I'm anticipating that I'll add a border of one of the main fabrics when all is said and done.
