COUNTRY COURTHOUSE - Pattern of the Week

 Hello Everyone,

If it's Sunday, it must be the unveiling of my Pattern of the Week!  This week the featured pattern is Country Courthouse. 

This is the perfect stash-busting quilt if you have a lot of scraps in your stash.

I cut hundreds, no thousands of 1" strips for this quilt.

Years ago, Mr. Joe was making and selling these handy dandy Strip'n Sews. I had been using a pasta dryer to display all of my 1" fabric strips.  He decided he could make something much more substantial, and he gave it 'stadium seating' so I could easily see all of my strips.  He wanted to name it Strip Seach which I immediately had to veto as president of the company!

Having an assortment of fabric strips at my fingertips, makes quick work of making all of the little 9 patches and Courthouse Steps blocks.

This quilt started out as the smaller Cute as a Button pattern.  A few years ago, we had so much snow that it made for rough travel whenever we left the cabin.  So, I just stayed inside and kept making block after block and ended up making a queen-sized Country Courthouse. 

I love this alternative colorway too.

Whenever I finish a quilt, I put it on display on my old sled a do a photoshoot.

I machine quilted around every single 'log' in the quilt.  Tedious but so worth the effort.

If you do your own machine quilting, then this one is for you.  Stitch in the ditch and stipple is in the entire body of the quilt.  I also added a feathered border.

The pattern is available and on sale in my Etsy shop HERE and it is offered at 15% off the regular price.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Soon,

Lynn
