Answer:

from the quarter to the block of ice

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature until temperature of both bodies are in Equilibrium .

Since block of ice has lower temperature than that of quarter. heat transfer will take from quarter to ice until both have same temperature(in other words temperature are in Equilibrium for quarter and ice)
