Helen's Disappearing Hourglass
I see a few of us have made this pattern. It was so much fun to make and I hope to make a few more in the future. Not sure if I want to do FMQ or use a panto. It will go on the quilting pile for now. Thanks for looking

Great color combo !!! Really pretty.
I'm with you.... i LOVE this block. I feel so bad when i hear folks talking about how they don't like it or how hard it was because of the bias edges......i have to say - i had no trouble and will be making this a few more times in different colors.
My next one - i am going to try a scrappy - once i have made all the blocks and cut them into the 9 pieces - going to put the same pieces from each block in a separate bag and pull them out and to a scrappy scrappy - don't know how it will turn out, but i'm curious to find out.
Thanks for sharing your DHG !!!!

That's pretty. I want to make one and did do a sample block a couple of weeks ago using the method on the video. I HATE working with the bias (even starched) and so glad I did not cut out an entire quilt that way! I will take the time to figure out the 1/2 square triangle sizes and make it that way.

Great quilt! I did not have any trouble working with the bias edges as in my 12 and 1/2 inch block tutorial but if bias edges are not your thing...Paperprincess posted a chart of sizes for starting with half square triangles on the straight of grain. This pattern is simply too neat not to try!
