Quicktabs and views to create tabbed views I see that quicktabs uses blocks as tabs.  This is fine if i create 4 views blocks for 4 single items of a content type and then add them to quick tabs manually.

Is there a workaround to show the latest 4 items of a certain content type using quick tabs and views?

Thanks,
Is this not just a matter of editing the view block to show four items rather than one? Under "Pager" in the view, select "Display a specified number of items" and then the quantity you prefer.
