Thank you for all your welcomes, I have printed of the patterns as suggested for my indigo quilt top
Have also just printed a label using Microsoft Publisher for the border really pleased with it, but thought I had better colourfast it before sewing on my quilt, so soaked it in vinegar & water
Just hope it works
Thanks again

Yvonne from New Zealand, I bet a Courthouse Steps would be gorgeous in blues and taupes--! I have made 2 Courthouse Steps and they have a very elegant look to them.

Wiggybutt. . .

I was just looking through some of the older comments and saw yours. Did you decide on colors? I am interested in makeing this pattern also and am having a little difficulty picking out coordinating colors. I like the redish one just on the inside page of her book. It takes less colors, especially for my first one. Please post a picture when you finish, we would all like to see it.
Have Fun,
Linda S / OASIS

I'm sure these won't be everyone's favorite colors, but when I took the class from Sue I took bright colors along knowing I needed to make a baby quilt. The quilt was for a new baby boy born to a very Republican friend of mine. The girl who quilted it for me also put in some trupuntoed elephants.

I love the pattern, but think I prefer it in more subdued colors. LOL
