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 :)

Beautiful Helen! Which method did you use to make your blocks? There's been some discussion about frustration by using the MSQC tutorial. I've made their disappearing pinwheel and it went pretty well.

Very nice colors in your quilt!

I am waiting for more answers to this....seems some are having a lot of difficulty with this while others are doing just fine.

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 !!!!

very pretty

Nicely done - was wondering which method you used too since others have said MSQC was frustrating.

This is sew pretty!

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.
