The fabrics sent by John were a compilation of much sought after Lush fabric by Erin Michaels, Lotus by Amy Butler, and Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt. I really enjoy using modern fabrics and simple piecing to make these fun blocks.
The design of this particular block (above) is from my new Quilter's Album book by Jinny Beyer, and is called Pudding and Pie by Alice Brooks. It was taken from an unidentified newspaper clipping, date unknown. I found it easy to re-size and recreate.
