Week 42 - Disappearing Hourglass

Good morning, here we are with Week 42 - the Disappearing Hourglass block. I love these “disappearing” blocks - you start with a simple block, make a few cuts and then a totally different block appears. Someone has made a happy mistake and discovered an whole new block.

This block looks so much more complicated than it actually is - no fussy points to make. Read through the pattern and make a start. Once you have made the cuts through your block, if you get a bit lost just turn it back to an hourglass and then make the turns.

It will all make sense when you read the pattern.

I had a wee look at some quilts made with this fantastic block. It makes a stunning secondary pattern when all sewn together. Images from Pinterest.

Have a fantastic week and I’ll see you back here next Wednesday.

Take care, Christine
