Step One
Cut two 2” wide strips in white.
Cut one 2” strip in a darker color.
Cut another 2” strip or just a single 2” square in a third color. -
Step Two
From the strips cut the following pieces:
Two 2” dark pieces
One 2” other color
Two 5” strips white, two dark
Two 8” strips white, two dark
Two 11” strips white -
Step Three
Sew the 2”squares together using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat pushing away from the center.
-
Step Four
Sew the 5” white strips to the top and bottom using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.
-
Step Five
Sew the 5” dark strips to the sides using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.
-
Step Six
Sew the 8” white strips to the top and bottom using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.
-
Step Seven
Sew the 8” dark strips to the sides using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.
-
Step Eight
Sew the 11” white strips to the top and bottom using a quarter inch seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.
-
Step Nine
Square the block up to 10”. If you don’t have a cutting mat and rotary cutter you can use a triangle and a ruler to mark your block and cut off the excess. If you are making many blocks you could make a 10” square cardboard template to trace around.
-
Step Ten: Add Words
This is the stage when you’ll want to write comments on the Courthouse Steps. First make a paper template and write out your comment. Place this paper under the area where you want to write, so you’ve got something reliable to trace. Use a Sharpie. We’re recommending black ink for continuity.
