Starting Step Down Quilt

No automatic alt text available.

Here are my first 2 rows of Step Down Quilt. The directions are a little bit quirky but I'm catching on! There are 5 rows of blocks and 6 rows of sashing that make the "step" look. After all the rows are sewn together, the edges need to be trimmed. The first row of blocks sets the correct width for the rest of the quilt. 

I think these blocks will be great for me to practice some free motion fillers. I'm so glad Dawn at sewyouquilt2 invited me to sew along with her. This is a free quilt since it's all coming from my stash. (Who cares that I paid for the fabric at some point??) I'm hoping to get this one done very soon!
