Oh, dear, I've been writing the wrong date all day. How the days get away from me - nowadays.
Over the years I have thought often about doing a quilt with stairs and am always taking pictures of stairs. I've even drawn half a dozen designs, but never quite end up with what I am looking for.
Here are some stairs from Carol's house in San Diego. I love the drifts of bougainvillea bracts on each step. These stairs might be what I have been seeking. Maybe I will be inspired and have the time this coming year. A goal, perhaps.
Other than the drifts, I like the twisted trunks at the right and the rounded river stones on the left. Although you cannot see them there is a string of tiny lights on a wire that go up the banister - apparently they are on all the time so one can find their way up and down - clever.

Stairs would be a fun, fun project! Perhaps instead of drawing, use pieces of fabric, various colors and shapes, for your medium and just lay out the pieces on your design wall and PLAY!! I love knowing you're thinking quilting!!
