Stair Steps
Stair Steps Quilt Block
I wanted to just give you a very easy block that makes some interesting visual designs for this month...seeing that I am very late with this one...so I created this block. I don't think that I've ever seen it, but it's possible. If someone knows that this is a "real" block, please let me know what the name is and I'll change it. You will need only 2 fabrics...just be sure that is a contrast in either shade or color. We will be making this one 8" finished.
