Steps to the Altar Quilt Block Pattern

This traditional quilt block sometimes has slightly different components, and there are other blocks that are known by the same or similar names, even though they look completely different. That's confusing, but not at all uncommon in the world of quilting. No matter what you call it, Steps to the Altar is a lovely block, and looks good when you sew it in either an orderly or a scrappy layout.
