The Quilt Show Puzzle: "The Cupcake Block" by Sandra Leichner
Do a puzzle of Sandra Leichner's quilt, The Cupcake Block.
The Cupcake Block is a derivative of Sandra's quilt, Tea with Miss D, and is just a smidgen different than the pattern featured in one of her books. It was created during her "Cupcake Phase" when she was playing with different cupcake designs, and for this one, she wanted to play around more with it. So, the frosting on each cupcake is stuffed to simulate real frosting, it includes little chocolate designs throughout and more touches of design whimsy. Those touches were a way to show Sandra's students that you can dress up whimsical quilts and add different technical flourishes to them so that they don't have to be boring.
