very cute!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
very cute!
I saw this tute yesterday and it's really pretty.
It's a cute block, one I plan to put on my "want to do" list.
Love it!! Will have to make this one.
This too shall pass.

Here's block 2, as you can see I am digging through my old scrap pile for 10 inch squares. I think this dark blue with little roses is from the 1980's?
Tartan, thank you for all your work and reporting your tips for assembling this block. Just a question? Maybe beginning with 11" squares would give the extra wiggle room to have a 12-1/2 unfinished block? If I give it a try I will report in

Will go look at tute....
Tartan- great block!!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
The tricky part is the final cut for the equal 9 patch assembly. The 12 and 3/4 hourglass block divides evenly into 9-4 1/4 squares to reassemble. I would try a sample of 10 1/2 to 11 to see what works for division. Please post if you work it out for those who want a 12 and 1/2 inch block.
Thank you for posting. I just watched the video.

I would just say if you plan to make this block into a complete quilt that you make a sample block before starting. Here is the block idea I had...
Ps I did square up at 12-1/2 leaving small triangles on the four corners
