Disappearing Hourglass

It came out great, I really like it!!! Hope your hair grows back soon...
Next time either starch the livin POOP outta those diagonal pieces, or try the pattern that opti77tian posted yesterday, it totally changes how the pieces are cut and NO diagonal seams!!

Your block is beautiful! I'm so sorry you had so much trouble with the block. Maybe there's not enough startch in the world to make it work better. LOL!
I made the disappearing pinwheel and that was really easy. Didn't try this one yet. It was suggested that you measure from the middle of the block when cutting these. Like Dunster said, Jenny doesn't go over the finer points of sewing and she doesn't finish the projects, either. She does, however, rely on bias to make things work for her. She has no fear of bias whatsoever.

I had the same problem with all the bias edges, so a couple weeks ago I created a cutting chart to cut the HST using the conventional method which results in blocks that are on the grain of fabric:
