MSQC - another cool tute!
Super Easy Hourglass...granted edges are bias, but quick way to do a sometimes pesky block........she uses 4 charm packs (of course), but in my eye, too much duplication.....because in most charm packs isn't there dups of prints to make up the 42 pieces? wonder if cutting f/q - 4 from each, or even yardage.....whatever, it's cute and an easy project......I think, anyway

I buy layer cakes. Each square makes 4 charm squares. So 44 layer cake squares gives me 176 charm squares. Same as four packs of charm squares. I buy the layer cakes when they are the daily special. I put a strip of lightweight fusible in an X on the back of the square. This keeps the bias edges from stretching. This is an Anita Grossman Solomon method that is fantastic. I use batting tape to save time and it's easier.
