PamelaQuilts: June Mini Madness: Block 11 Hourglass

Are you ready for a new block? This one is a nice and easy one for you, just a couple four patch units and half square triangles. We'll use two colors for this block.

For 3 inch blocks, cut one 2 3/8 square (cut in half diagonally) of red, four 1 ¼ inch squares of blue, and one 2 3/8 (cut in half diagonally) and four 1 ¼ inch squares of background fabric.

For 6 inch blocks, cut one 3 7/8 square (cut in half diagonally) of red, four 2 inch squares of blue, and one 3 7/8 (cut in half diagonally) and four 2 inch squares of background fabric.

First you make your four patch units and sew the half square triangles together. Both units will measure 2 inches (3 ½ inch for 6 inch blocks).

Now get them arranged and sew them togehter, make sure those squares form a diagonal line!

All fnished, and looking good!

I've got a winner for this weeks prize, and Moran of MoranArtandQuilts gets the fabric bundle: these are leftovers from my project from the "Ditty" line by Island Batik. They are so pretty! I am excited to see what she does with them, her quilts are always creative and lovely.
