Courthouse Steps / Log Cabin - Quilt Block Workshop

The Courthouse steps and log cabin quilt blocks are made in very similar ways so it is up to you which form you choose to make.  Both blocks are quick to piece by machine and you may even get a second block made in the session

This workshop will teach you how to :

• Accurately cut your fabric strips
• Using a 1/4 inch foot to piece on your sewing machine
• Squaring up the blocks 

This workshop is suitable for all, including if this is your first patchwork quilt experience.

Fabric Requirements:

Several colours of fabric in dark, medium and light tones - a traditional log cabin includes a red square in the centre.   You will need strips of approximately 2.5 inches width - total of around a half meter amount in total. 

This quilt block workshop works beautifully as a standalone project, and the finished block could easily be transformed into a cushion. If, however, you'd like to create something larger, there are plenty of options available including a table runner, lap quilt or bed cover quilt.

You might choose to make several of the same block, or combine it with some of the other blocks featured in our workshop programme to design a quilt that is uniquely your own.

We also run regular Sash, Sandwich and Snack sessions to help you bring your quilt together. These workshops cover adding optional sashing between your blocks, incorporating borders, and preparing your quilt sandwich.  You are very welcome to quilt your project yourself, or, if you prefer, have it completed by a professional long-arm quilter. We can then guide you through the final stage of finishing your quilt with binding.

Whether you're making a single statement piece or embarking on a full quilt project, we'll be here to support you every step of the way.
