Is there an easy way to do these blocks? Help...
The pattern (Safari Fun Pattern Quilt) calls for 40 ea hour glass blocks with 4 different colors....10 ea 5 1/2 squares cut into X's - that would make 160 triangles to sew together...Is there an easier way? I hope

If you google quarter square triangles, you will come up with lots of methods. Here's one:

I've just completed a pinwheel quilt and used a method I read about on the forum. Joined the two fabric strips along both length, cut squares from the joined strips, then cut into triangles. It's the first time I've managed to cut triangles without losing points (well I lost one because I trimmed it up without thinking of seam allowance!). It made it so easy.
