Greetings to all of the blog tour visitors – thanks for stopping by. Look for Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks from Today’s Top Designers, Collectors Edition in your local quilt shop, on newsstands after Nov. 16 or purchase from Quiltmaker.com.
I was approached at market in Pittsburgh about contributing to the issue…I thought it sounded like fun and besides, the block wasn’t due until later in the summer. Well, summer flew by and the deadline was upon me. My husband chuckled and shook his head. I guess I am pretty predictable in that way and somehow am always working against a pressing deadline!
I had just finished a project using the Frosted Memories line by Holly Taylor from Moda. I loved the soft greens, reds. creams and tans. I had bits and pieces left from a Layer Cake pre-cut pack, so went to work with that, determined to make it work as a scrappy block.

Here is a setting option using four Four Corners blocks – what a cute Christmas topper this would make!

Four Block Topper Yardage
Sashes: 1/4 yard
4 rectangles 2- 1/2″ x 12- 1/2″
Cornerstone: Scrap
1 square 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″.
Border/Binding: 1 yard
2 strips 4-1/2″ x 26-1/2″ for sides
2 strips 4-1/2″ x 35″ for top/bottom
4 strips 2-1/4″ x width of fabric for binding
The 100 Blocks magazine has setting options for larger sizes as well. This is an issue worth having!
