Here are three more blocks.
Mollymunchkin -- Simple flower basket
[ATTACH=CONFIG]527362[/ATTACH]
Terriamn -- Port and Starboard
[ATTACH=CONFIG]527363[/ATTACH]
ljdugas -- Providence (variation). Really, when you cut part of the fabric incorrectly, not once, but twice, the block looks a lot different then originally planned.

Nice blocks Biblistone! I have been cutting and working on a Disappearing Hour Glass 2 for a couple of weeks. NEVER AGAIN!! If you follow the directions from Jennie at Mo Star Quilt and try to cut the hour glass in 3rds they don't always work with her measurements...wasted a couple of squares....then the stretching of the bias fabric was horrible to work with..PLUS the fabric I thought would be perfect for the pattern wasn't... LOL...Ever have a top you just want to get it over and done with and don't care if it ever gets quilted??? Its folded up in the top of my cabinet and will probably stay there for a LONG time! On to the next challenge which has NO bias cuts what so ever!!
Thanks Kass...whatever you did I love that block!!

Billie Mine was the DHG2...its just on how you turn the blocks after you cut them is the difference between DHG 1 and 2...It was harder because of the bias and stretching of the blocks and if you didn't get the points exactly the same then it made the little square in the middle of the white block off...I think there has to be a much better way of making it then cutting the hour glass into 9 pieces and trying to sew them back together. It wasn't "hard" but you have to be 100% perfect on the cutting and then repositioning them that Im not sure it was worth the effort! It wasn't totally wrong just a couple of the squares would NOT match up no matter how many times I ripped and re-sewed and moved blocks around. I think the pattern would be prettier if it was done in two dominate colors. I used a Layer cake that had blues and reds, greens and blacks and none of them stood out as dominate. It looks more like a patchwork than an planned color scheme if that makes sense? The one she has on her tutorial is very pretty!! Don't let my inability stop you from trying!! LOL...we all have a block we just cant get a handle on..this one is mine!
