Moody Blues is a modern take on the traditional courthouse steps block, designed for beginners and confident quilters alike. Narrow, gradient-style “steps” create a soft sense of movement across the quilt, blending symmetry and color in a calm, fluid design.

This quilt began as an experiment in hand-dyeing—a weekend class, a loose plan, and a leap of faith with color. The result is a cool, serene palette of stormy blues and grays that echoes the quiet stillness of twilight water.

Fabric requirements are provided for both single-color and two-color versions, making it easy to customize your own palette—from soft gradients to bold, high-contrast builds.
