Courthouse Steps
This morning I started cutting for a twenty block scrappy batik Courthouse Steps. My middle square is 3 1/2 inches. I have seen photographs online with a very small middle. They are quite pretty and I may make one sometime in the future. I like both.
Have you ever made Courthouse Steps? Which middle did you do? I'm just wondering which one is more popular.

I made one courthouse block for a sampler quilt. I think I used the smaller center simply because I was pulling from 2.5 inch scraps. But I prob’ly would like the larger center just as much. In my mind it looks quite nice (0: !

I made a navy/cream and dark gold tone one many years ago for my son Greg. One of the first bed sized quilts I ever made. Honestly don't remember what size I used at the time. What I do recall was that he was a teenager with a new drivers license and was always getting tickets and had to go to the court house in town to pay them. Thought if he slept under the quilt he might change his driving habits.....LOL...but it worked.

I've made Courthouse Steps, as a matter of fact it is my avatar picture, so you can see it. I used a small center because I was making it from a pattern but if you use a larger center, your blocks will be larger faster. No right or wrong, just personal preference.
