<strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Stash</strong> <strong>Blocks</strong><br />
Oct/Nov QUILT <strong>Magazine</strong>, Issue #82<br />
PLEASE NOTE: This fabric stash block first appeared in the Oct/Nov 2007 issue of QUILT magazine.<br />
Many fabrics have a shelf life of about 6 months to 1 year. These exact fabrics may not still be available<br />
for purchase. Take heart! Your favorite quilt shop can help you select suitable substitutes in<br />
colors and patterns that will work just as well to make this block.<br />
CORNUCOPIA - 12”<br />
Perhaps no other symbol is associated with<br />
Thanksgiving more than a Cornucopia. This<br />
just happens to be the name of a traditional<br />
quilting block, so I had to make it my choice<br />
for the Thanksgiving season. The intermediate<br />
pattern uses beautiful colors reminiscent of<br />
the grapes that often grace a “Horn of Plenty”<br />
I chose fabrics from the Kensington Gardens<br />
fabric line by P&B Textiles. www.pbtex.com<br />
