I got some yummy linen fabrics from Sandown, and a month or so ago decided I wanted to do some foundation piecing with them. I wanted to do regular log cabin, but couldn't find the foundation-by-the-yard, so settled on court house steps instead, and planned to get more of the linen at Festival of Quilts
Of course it would help if I knew when I got the linen from! The only person selling the range at FoQ was selling it as a kit which was no good to me. So I started thinking about what else I could use for the Courthouse steps, and could I arrange them in the same way as log cabins could be arranged?
Google Images is a great place to go, and I did find, and [pin] some examples, and surfing led me to the selvedge edge blog and this great example I then got hopelessly distracted by all the other yummy selvedge edge projects until I stumbled across this great idea:
That's when I remembered that I had (a) a bag of selvedge edges) and (b) a to-be-decorated mug (which had been decorated with great crazy patch wrapping paper but that was only ever temporary)
So look what I made ...

Textile quilt update: I have started the next rows of sashing and blocks, and have almost joined two rows to the middle . . . and then the 1/4 inch foot broke :-(
I have ordered a new one from ebay, and will carry on when it arrives!
