Housetop 9 Block Variation Free Quilt Pattern by Debby Kratovil
Housetop 9 Block Variation builds nine large blocks through successive rounds of contrasting strips. Debby Kratovil uses Courthouse Steps-style piecing, with individual diagrams changing the strip order and introducing pieced sections within several rounds. White-on-white and gray fabrics form the quilt, which has a stated size of 66 x 73 inches. Unequal sashing widths and different border fabrics extend those variations beyond the blocks into the surrounding layout.
