Courthouse Steps Baby Quilt

I'm so happy to have a quilt to show you! It's been awhile. This was a fun one to get out of my brain and stitched together.

I picked the giant courthouse steps block for a dear friend of mine from law school, who had a baby boy in May. 

After making a messy little sketch, I spent a few minutes pulling solids from my stash and started cutting and piecing strips. The whole quilt top came together in just a few hours.  

I backed it in an incredibly soft print that I'd been holding on to  for a few years. 

I love the relatively quick gratification that comes from making a baby quilt! It feels good to be sending this one off to its forever home this week.
