Thanks everyone so much! Sure appreciate that!! You know taking a pic in the direct sunlight is not too good so I have a better one now that I just took indoors so you can see it better. It came together so nice and all sunlight distorted the secondary pastel blocks. Hope this is better! :-D

I put this together focusing on the secondary patterns and this inside pic does justice

I really like your quilt. I have to say I haven't seen that pattern before.

Looks great! I'll have to remember this one since I've got several quilts on my list that will leave me a bunch of leftover HSTs.

I don't know if there is a name for this pattern but I found the Courthouse Steps nice but boring so I beefed it up. I have what seems like a thousand HST's collected over the yrs. of sewing leftover from projects so this is one of a few quilts I am using them up in. I got the idea thinking about a quilt I had seen yrs. ago by Bonnie Hunter where she added HST's at the end of each braid. Well, I thought the same thing would work great at the end of any type block with logs like log cabins, courthouse steps, rail fence, etc. It truly was a great way to use a dozen HST's in each block, but I still have hundreds left over! Thank you, mzmama!! :-D :-D :-D
