Take a look at the photo. All blocks are straight set, but light logs of the Courthouse Steps blocks are aligned against the light background of some neighboring pitcher blocks, making the pitchers appear to be on point. And the value arrangement makes the other pitchers pop out, too -- the straight set is obvious and gives the pitchers (as a whole) some really nice movement.
Dark Courthouse Steps logs form (Ohio-like) stars throughout the quilt.
There's no need for the pieced setting triangles when this method is used.
Beverly did a great job transforming this little quilt.
