golden staircase

Here's the quilt I finished for Project Quilting's off-season Focus Through the Prism challenge. I call it "Golden Staircase," and it measures 20"X20".

The inspiration was a log cabin block. I decided to go literal with the blocks for this series because my time is limited (I upped the ante from one child to two last month!), and because I think it will be nice to have a rainbow-colored set of classic quilt blocks in the end. You know, to hang about the living room. (This is assuming that Kim keeps using classic blocks as inspiration...so we'll see!)

Here it is next to an actual staircase:

I had fun free-motion quilting the snot out of it (very therapeutic!) in concentric squares:

For the back I chose a grey polka dot, and for the binding a blue and white stripe because...stripes and polka dots! What else can I say?

And that is all. 

Thanks for reading, and make sure you stop by Kim's blog to see all the other awesome quilts created for this challenge!
