When I finished the top I put it away - I was unsure of how to quilt it and I knew for certain I couldn't quilt it like the one in AP&Q. After a few weeks I could pull it out having forgotten how beautifully quilted it was in the magazine and quilt it "my way" (very simple - stitch in the ditch mostly) I managed to get all the blocks assembled for my daughter's courthouse steps quilt. Today DD#2 and I went to the LQS to choose fabrics for borders/binding/backing. It was fun to do that together!! She chose pink (no surprise there) Hopefully I can get the borders on this week and take a picture to share.
Happy Quilting!!

A lovely quilt with a great selection of fabrics and I am sure you will enjoy seeing it every day. Take care.
Thast is so sweet!!
What a happy little quilt to see when you come in your home. When I want to get back to basics in quilting I always choose a log cabin, they are just plain fun to me, so enjoy the court house steps.
Happy Stitching
Beautiful little quilt. Glad you have a spot for it where you can enjoy it every day!
So pretty in pink! Love it!
Lovely little finish...I remember that quilt, and I think yours is perfect!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
such a sweet quilt. I'm so glad you didn't feel you had to "follow the leader" but do it your way!
Very, very nice finish, Janet! I admired this little beauty when I saw it in APQ. Love your fabrics too!
What a cute little quilt! I didn't see the original so I'm not biased. The quilting looks just right to me!
Such fun projects coming from your hands.
Having a daughter to go to the store with you to pick fabrics is such a blessing. :)
Janet that's going to be so wonderful to see the Courthouse steps. What a special blessing to be able to share the choosing of fabrics together. I love that for you. Quick question on the little quilt. How do you find quilting the little ones when its not in a hoop? I'm working on a little piece myself right now and interested in your experience, thoughts...
Love your little applique quilt! I may have to pull my magazine out of the pile.
I love to go fabric shopping for quilts with my mom. Love the flowers!
What a gorgeous little quilt!
Isn't it great to go fabric shopping with DDs! :)
....and my Sweet Carolina top is sitting waiting to be quilted. Shame on me! Yours is just so darned adorable!!!
a beautiful finish on this sweet little quilt~!
i actually don't remember what the quilting on the original looked like but i sure like the way you've done yours. sometimes simple quilting lets some of the other elements of a quilt shine a bit brighter.
