Isn't this an interesting one?  In a sea of solid colors, there are a few blocks made with prints.  It is a rather striking contrast.

Another Courhouse Steps in welcoming warm colors.  This one is much more traditional in color and block placement than the previous one.  I really like it.

Isn't this a pretty one?  I love the coral color!  And the fabrics are primarily wool.  What a delightful quilt for winter snuggling.

Log Cabin - Pioneer Block

I've never heard of a Pioneer Block Log Cabin.  I'm assuming it refers to the last rows on the blocks used in such a way as to create the window pane appearance. It's interesting.
