Love your table topper! So pretty.
Actually I got the block name wrong. Anita Hallock called it a Woodpile block in her "Sizzling Quilts from One Simple Block" book. Instead of piecing around a center square, the woodpile block is pieced in strips. I used five 2-1/2" wide strips, so the block measured 10-1/2".
Strip 1 is a single piece of fabric 10-1/2" in length.
Strip 2 is two different pieces of fabric = a 2-1/2" length + a 8-1/2" length
Strip 3 is two different pieces of fabric = a 4-1/2" length + a 6-1/2" length, etc.
