"Stairstep Quilts" features 11 fabulous quilts that are easy enough for new quilters to make. Design options will delight experienced quilters as well. Great "scrap-buster-no-thinking-required" version included too!
This is a 24-page pdf file filled with quilt photos, step-by-step how-to photos, fabric requirements, cutting and sewing directions that have been "sister-tested" and found to be easy to follow. Cutting info for using fat quarters and pre-cuts, and helpful time-saving tips I discovered while making these quilts. This is a no-stress zone!

No shipping fee, no clutter, the photos look beautiful on your screen, all at less than half the price of a quilt book.
This book starts with complete instructions for a classic Stairstep quilt. Then we move on to versions with different strip widths, different fabric recipes, and then different step arrangements. There is an Amish style quilt, an asymmetrical setting, a version with unequal strip widths, a scrap quilt, a "modern prints paired with white" version, a hand-dyed version, solid color versions, blocks set on-point, a wonky improv version, a red and white version, and a retro quilt with humility blocks. Quick-reference layout guide too. Even a cartoon customized for us by humorist, machine-quilter and teacher Carla Barrett!
This book would be a great starting point for a guild workshop project. Each quilter could create her own unique version. Imagine the Show-n-Tell at the next meeting!
