I will need two - 10 inch strips for each block. I will need 7 strips for the last side and 7 strips for the top side of the quilt top after I sew the rows together. This will make sense, when I share the next steps and photos in two weeks. The lattice strips are 2 1/2" wide by 10" long. The corner stone is a 2 1/2" square.

We did not finish sewing them, as we put it away and we will work on it again in about two weeks when Mom comes back to visit again.
The courthouse round block is a fun block to make especially when using scraps. There are about 40 different green fabrics in this quilt. We are pretty sure there are no duplicate blocks. There is a one draw back to using so many different fabrics. They are all different weights and thicknesses, even though they are all 100% cotton fabrics. Some of them stretch and pull a little. All in all, I love how it is looking!
The center square is 2 1/2" by 2 1/2".
All of the strips are 1 1/2" wide.
Round One
2 strips:
1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long
and 1 1/2" by 4 1/2"
Round Two
2 strips:
1 1/2" by 4 1/2" and 1 1/2" by 6 1/2"
Round Three
2 strips:
1 1/2" by 6 1/2" and 1 1/2" by 8 1/2"
Round Four
2 strips:
1 1/2" by 8 1/2" and 1 1/2" by 10 1/2"

Texture green fabric - Round Three Do you remember how I arranged the strips into the drawer organizer?  Then Mom would select the strips for each block and placed them on a paper towel and then in a new pizza box.  We took photos of each other as we were working on the blocks.   And the dining room table.  Toby even jumped up to help us!  I can't wait to work on the quilt again. Two weeks will be here before I know it! |
I am ziggin' outside the zag on this one! I am using some of the scraps from our green quilt.
Here's a sneak peak.
I started with cream fabric and the leftover strips.

I stitched strips and sliced and diced and stitched and I am not done yet....

I'll share all of it on Thursday or Friday.
Don't forget to take time to play!

Green is an awesome colour!! Can't wait to see the quilt all put together =D
I guess I don't have to tell you how blessed you are to have your mother to do this project with you! I'd love to have anyone to work on a project with me!!
The quilt is going to be beautiful too! Love it.
What a great project - love how you keep it all in order and stored while in progress. That lime-ish green is perfect to tie all those blocks together.
It is looking great! Can't wait to see your ziggin and zaggin progress.
What great colors! And I see you even had a little helper. :)
Your quilt is looking beautiful! You are so lucky to get to sew with your mom!
Wow, that's really coming along nicely! I love the lattice in there! The colors really do pop with that added in. How fun to play with your mom! I would never have thought to use paper towels to hold the strips together for a block! How cool! Y'all are doing a wonderful job on that. Can't wait to see it finished!
Blessings, Doni
