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.

So pretty, I would love to know how to make one.

Gorgeous - love the colour combo!

Love your quilt!

I really like this pattern, it has such a sparkle to it.

Lovely colors.

Great quilt-- I love the colors you chose, as well as the fabrics.

How do I find paper princess? Or where would I find her chart?

I really like it

Love how it came out!

a very striking quilt.. nice

Do any of you get "The Missouri Star" quilt magazine called "Block" ? In issue 4 she gives directions on making this block. There are very good directions with lots of pics and graphs. I think you could learn more from it, than the video.

Love it!! so much so that I pulled out some blue and yellow scraps and stitched some blocks together just to see if I could do it. They came out very well. I started with a 9 1/2 inch square since that was the size of my smaller pieces, squared it to 12 inches before cutting the nine patch pieces. It's looking good and so easy to do following Missouri Star Quilt's directions.

:) Bobbielinks I look forward to seeing your blue and yellow one!

Very nice. Where do you get the instructions for this pretty pattern?
peace

Very nice looking quilt. Now going to have to add this to my "soon to do" list!

Sew very pretty!

very pretty!!!

That is very pretty.

Pretty, pretty…..

I really like this pattern and plan to try this soon. I am doing her disappearing pinwheel right now and so far so good! I love your color selection and color placement. You did a wonderful job on this quilt. Beautiful!!!

You did a beautiful job!!!! Your quilt is gorgeous. Love those colors!

Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company has a You Tube video of it and I believe you can get it in her "Block" magazine...issue 4. I don't have my magazine yet, so don't know.

Mine came out a little wonky so I just squared it up to 12. Not very seam butted up perfectly when sewing the blocks together. I am not so picky about things like that. Across the room it looks fabulous. I found it very easy and used lots of starch.

It's on my to do list but yours is lovely!!

It is beautiful. I love the colors

I agree, it is now on my charity quilt list.

Love the pattern, love the color choices. Great job!

BEAUTIFUL. BrendaK

Your quilt is beautiful. I love the pattern, fabrics and color choices.
