    Default MSQ Dissappearing Hourglass Quilt

    I finished this quilt and really enjoyed this process. I cut the squares from my stash and changed it to 9 1/2. This allowed me to subcut at exactly 4 inches instead of some difficult number for me to see on the ruler. The block finished at 10 1/4 but was a little wonky so I squared them up to 10 inches.

    I have no trouble working with bias and I did use starch to help with that. I am currently working on another using up flowers blocks from my charity group stash.

    This will go to the Veterans Hospital here in Phoenix. I have a friend that hand delivers them to deserving Vets.

    If you look close you will see I turned one of the blocks wrong. No way am I ripping that out as a non quilter would never notice or care.

    Looks great! I really had to search for that one block. I like the effect of it anyway! Great job!

    ​Love it! I had no trouble working with the bias on my blocks either and the bias really helped me match up the corner triangles. Fun, fun blocks!

    Lovely quilt; on my 'to do' list! I heard about this pattern recently and want to make a block before long. My friend said it isn't that difficult.
    Would you tell us where you got the pattern?

    Oh My goodness - I love it! You are going to make a vet very happy. I like that one block turned that way - it's walking to the beat of a different drummer.
