Start with a simple courthouse steps block in two inverted fabrics and end with some 3D looking quilt designs. It’s quick and easy. Use highly contrasting fabrics for best results.
How to make a simple courthouse steps block and a sliced courthouse steps block
If you like disappearing blocks check out my book Turnabout patchwork. It’s a book about slicing and turning blocks like this one.
My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

Loved the 2 color option. Can you please give me an idea of what yardage you need for a lap or twin size quilt?
