It's hard to believe, but this was the last of 12 monthly modern makeover block challenges as part of Modern Quilts Unlimited "Everything Old Is New Again" challenge series. To close us out, Jacob's Ladder was chosen as the focus block.
For my block's unit, I drew inspiration from the rungs of a ladder, creating a band of gradated insert strips. The side triangles were then filled in with rays. Once this unit is combined with others, you not only get a ring formed by the bands, but a star also emerges within.

I couldn't resist designing a larger quilt top using EQ7. Oh the possibilities!!

While this may be the last monthly challenge...there is one challenge remaining! Now we need to create a quilt using all 12 of our modern blocks for the challenge finale! Fortunately, we have two months for this final round...wish me luck!
