Once the block becomes an hour glass, the fun part begins!  From the middle of the block, measure a 21/8" portion and cut.  Keep turning the block and cut all four sides..  like so....

After sewing all the sides, cut diagonally.  Iron the fabric towards the dark print.  Then sew all the squares together.  Lastly, before the final cut sew them into hour glass.

The first step is to cut out 10" X 10 " square blocks.  30 squares of the red, purple and black fabric and 30 squares of  plain white fabric.

The second step is to put both the plain and coloured squares...right sides together...then sew all the four sides together.

Disappearing Hour Glass (Greg's Quilt)

My Aunty Agnes, told me she made a very easy quilt using the Disappearing Hour Glass pattern. So I had a look into youtube.  I thought it was very interesting so I decided to try and make a quilt.  I what'sapp my nephew, Greg, to see if he wants a quilt.  He said....YES..  I then had to ask him his favourite colors and he came up with this combination!!!.. Red, Purple and Black...

All done!!  Did the same quilting as the other quilt.  Simple ditch and line quilting.

I used the same fabric for the squares and border.  This will make the solid colors pop out!!  Since this is a crib size quilt, I only need to use half of the table top to baste.  However, I used quite a lot of safety pins to pin the layers together.

Added a pink sashing and used the same square block print for the border.

I like how the colourful blocks became the centre of attraction rather than the middle square blocks.
