Courthouse Colourplay Beginnings

Taking a class with Seattle MQG is always a good time, and ever since Krista/
poppyprint announced her Courthouse Colourplay workshop, I was intrigued, so last Saturday was totally a win-win.


Of course, it all began with a stack of fabric, and I actually started mine with that big hunk of Kona Splash. Once I had my stack pulled, I realized it had some real similarities to my Begonia project, but whatever. If I'm in a color rut, so be it.




So that's how far I got in class - six blocks. And don't be worried about the wonky shapes and sizes. I'm not, as Krista shared some tips on how to deal with that, and trust me, it'll only get better.

  1. Very nice! I'm particularly interested in the tension created by the color variation between the blocks on the right.

  4. That is a beautiful stack of fabric and the blocks are looking good! My solids were down to next to nothing after the 16 patch quilt top I just got done so I have a order with 24 yards of Kona soon to arrive at my door. Unfortunately they were sold out of Splash which is such a great color.

  5. The colors you choose are gorgeous! I am curious how the wonky will work out, but I'm sure it will!

  6. Nice colors. I get stuck in color ruts too and usually the cool color range similar to yours. Your blocks are reminding me of a design I worked up a couple of years ago of log cabin blocks in greens. I should get back to that. Have fun with both your green/blue quilts. They will be beautiful.

  7. I have never done a courthouse steps before, I am curious do you totally piece one block at a time so you don't get the colors messed up?
