I was thinking of the same block; I've used it before for a friend's move. Ours used 5" cut squares of light fabric for the signature, and various values of a coral/peach/pink for the corner "snowball" squares ( cut at 3" )
When you cut the corner "snowballing" squares slightly larger than half the the size of one side of the larger signature squares, it create a ribbon effect across the quilt when sewn together. The blocks can be set in "straight furrows", bull's eye, zigzag, all sorts of ways. Enjoy playing with them on a design wall before assembling into rows.
This shows sixteen blocks.
