This round is for my 24 1/2" center block. Choose your 2 colors and cut strips 1 1/2" wide, press toward the dark. If you have the Fon's and Porter 1/2 & 1/4 triangle ruler, place the ruler so your strip width is the 2 1/2" line and your sewn seam should match the 1 1/4" line. Cut out triangles across the strip set, turning your ruler every other cut. Be sure your 1 1/4" line stays consistant so your seams match up in the center. If you don't have the F&P ruler, cut a square 5 1/4" by 5 1/4" and cut from corner to corner twice (X) and use one of these triangles as your pattern. Here are some examples of how you can put the blocks together for your border and you can see how I turned the hourglass to get the look I wanted.
