Round 1 was chosen by Brenda @ Songbird Designs -- the hourglass block. There are many ways to make an hourglass block, so head over to Brenda's blog to get more information.
I decided to make my hourglass block by pairing two HST blocks. I used my Bloc Loc ruler to trim the blocks. I used Kona Natural and Everglade.
I'm going with an alternate layout this year instead of the traditional medallion layout. I combined four hourglass units into a 12.5-inch block.
Don't forget to link up your round 1 with Brenda to be entered into the prize giveaway.

I really like that your hourglass blocks rotate around the block. Not always, but occasionally time does have a very cyclical feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am curious to see your alternative layout. This is my first SAHRR and I am already amazed with the submissions and talents shown. Great fun indeed!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking what I see so far!
ReplyDeleteVery nice use of the hourglass blocks!
ReplyDeleteThese colors really are so beautiful, and it will be lovely to see this quilt at the end. I'm looking forward to seeing all your ideas about your quilt; they are intriguing!
