Default Hourglasses - 4 at a time.

Help, please. Cannot find the post (if it was on the QB) I have searched Tutorials but could not find it.

It was about making 4 hourglass blocks at one time and leaving no excess fabric. It was all about the way 2 squares were layered, sewn then cut! A really useful method!

I have the picture, (don't know if I can show it here) but don't know which is the sew line and which is the cut!
Hoping one of you can remember it! As usual, thanks sooo much!

OK, so I tried sewing the pattern on paper and get just 2 full hourglasses. Nowhere did I find a method for 4. But the 2 are nice, easy and no waste!

Princess, you are promoted to Queen! That is the exact one! I was looking for Hourglass instead of Quarter square!

Thank you!

The MSQ video sure looks easy. I have always be cautioned out the bias edges of Jenny's method. Has any one had problems with that? and if so, what was your solution.

Well, I just read on to the next post and Taa-Daa! There is the tutorial with the hourglass without the bias edges. Thanks all.

I use Jenny's method and have never had a problem. I used to hate making hourglass blocks. Now they're easy and quick.
