My Courthouse Steps is finally finished!

I know in my post yesterday I said that I was going to clean up my sewing room, well that didn't happen! LOL! But look what I did get done!!! Finally my Courthouse Steps quilt!! This baby is pretty big measuring in at a nice 94x106. The lighting wasn't the best today but maybe you can get an idea of how it looks. It has a total of 224 blocks that are 6 inches and I even mitered the borders. I had never tried that before and it really wasn't that hard. I'm not sure why I hadn't tried it before. I counted the pieces and it has a total of 2916 pieces. :)

Can you see little Smokey up there? I had just hung that quilt top up there and ran downstairs to take photos and he was already crying. I think he even threatened to jump if I didn't go back up and get him. :)Here is a close up of the blocks with the border fabric. This is before I cut it for the borders. I'm hoping to get it quilted soon. I just need to get caught up on customer quilts first.

I'm glad to have it finished, I had been putting it off forever. I'm really pleased with how it tuned out.

This afternoon we drove to town and had supper with Richard's mom and grandmother. We had some very good lasagna, garlic bread, and pineapple upside down cake. We had a nice little visit with them. Then stopped off by Walmart for dog food and toilet paper. :)

Now that we are home, I really need to get upstairs and clean my sewing room so that it will be nice and clean in the morning when I load another customer quilt on the frame. I'm thinking this next one should be fairly easy, or at least I hope so.
