I've been playing with ITH quilt blocks with more of my left over jelly roll strips (which seem to be going on forever!)
I always have outline designs ready on my memory stick so one became a potholder and the other a pincushion.
I believe the potholder is called courthouse steps, but I don't know if the other one has a name.
I rather like the courthouse steps block, it seems to have a lot of potential. Who knows I may even do enough blocks for a quilt!

24276Wow! Sue these look fabulous. Love the little cushion. Makes a great pin cushion. These are great little gifts to have on hand too. Love Chris
234496I'm glad your leftover jelly roll is still going strong. I'm enjoying all the uses you are coming up with to use it up. I love these ideas. Well done
169064These both turned out beautifully as does all your work. I am thinking about doing a sports themed quilt for my son's 50th Birthday this year and found the second block in my search. It was called "Economy Quilt Block"

57675I believe your second block is called square with in a square. Nice use of the blocks.

How many pincushions do you have in your gift drawer. Yesterday I counted 17 in mine - time to start doing something else, like potholders, of which I have only 8.
