When I find a reasonably priced layer cake, I enjoy making the Disappearing Hourglass pattern from Missouri Star quilt company. Usually, I have to cut my own white 10" squares, but that is easy as I buy white by the bolt. The HSTs make the hourglass block and then 4 cuts make all the rest after rearranging the cut pieces. Hopefully, I did not screw up sewing the blocks this time. If you see an error, let me know. I have not web sewed them yet. The layer cake is one I bought on Etsy for a reasonable price. I am going to use all the blocks in one quilt instead of splitting them into two with sashing. I am making my comfort quilts bigger these days so people can really wrap up in it with nothing hanging out.
I guess I get a kick out of the magic of cutting up an hourglass and getting such a tricky looking block.
I didn't catch any mistakes. Nice blocks!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Linda, this quilt is sooo awesome. I absolutely love it. This is the first disappearing hourglass quilt I have seen and I really love the way it looks. Really beautiful!(No mistakes that I could see.)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks! I didn't catch any mistakes, either - ;))
ReplyDeleteReally cool … not a pattern I have used, but very effective!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am an echo - I don't see any mistakes.
ReplyDeleteBut also, I should probably buy black by the bolt, since I use a lot of it.
Those blocks are stunning. This is going to be a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a very striking pattern in any fabric.
ReplyDeleteThe colours work so well together and the block pattern is a new one to me, as you say it definitely does have a tricky look but a nice one!
