If you love traditional quilt blocks with a modern twist, the Sliced Courthouse Steps Quilt Block by TeresaDownUnder is a fantastic project to try. This block is a variation of the classic Courthouse Steps design, which itself is a variation of the well-known Log Cabin block. What makes this version unique is the creative way it is sliced and rearranged to add movement and visual interest.
This quilt block is perfect for beginners, as it follows a simple strip-piecing method and requires only basic sewing skills. Teresa guides quilters step by step through the process, making it easy to follow along—even if you're new to quilting. The slicing technique used in this design gives it a fresh, modern look while maintaining the charm of traditional quilting patterns.

Whether you prefer a bold, high-contrast look or a softer, scrappy feel, this block adapts beautifully to different styles. Plus, it’s a great way to experiment with color placement and fabric patterns.
This block can be used on its own for a striking quilt design or combined with other blocks to create a more intricate layout.
