I already had a number of card tops made and it was just a matter of picking one for Brian and quilting it. I chose this top because the orange fabric came from Diane’s stash which Brian kindly send to me. 

As I studied it to figure out the quilting I thought something looked “off”. I double checked the location of the half-square triangles (because that is usually where I make my errors) but, in this case, it was the location of two of the other blocks that was wrong and it was an easy fix.

After looking through my books a couple of times I gave up on finding the block. It took longer to look through my Splendid Sampler books to find the name of the block than it did to put it together and get it into the mail. As it turns out this one didn’t come from my Splendid Sampler blocks but from my block-a-day calendar that I was working my way through during the first phase of the pandemic.
