Coming Home Part 2 of 4

Designed by Annette Boland and Carla Brinkman

Finished quilt size: 8" x 36"

Finished block size: 8" x 8"

Finished Courthouse Steps block size: 4" x 4"

This project evokes happy memories of a simple rural landscape. When we collaborated with our friends to design this year’s mystery project, we felt it would be incomplete without including a church as one of the "homes" in the design. For this issue’s Part 2, we've given you the option of making more courthouse steps blocks for a standalone project, or simply sewing together the basic units as part of the mystery quilt.
