If you have a beautiful jelly roll waiting in your stash and a free afternoon, this video might be all the encouragement you need. In this fun, speedy make, Sunbeam Fabric Art shows how she pieced a whole courthouse steps quilt top in under five hours, using nothing more than a jelly roll and a clever, stash busting approach. It is proof that a stunning quilt does not have to take months.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It is wonderfully fast. A finished top in under five hours feels almost too good to be true, and she shows exactly how the jelly roll does so much of the heavy lifting for you.
- The courthouse steps block is a classic. This timeless variation on the log cabin builds up in soothing, symmetrical rounds, so it is satisfying to piece and looks beautifully structured.
- A brilliant stash buster. If you have been hoarding a special jelly roll, this is the perfect low fuss project to finally set it free and enjoy it.
