Hour Glass Quilt Block Pattern

Hour Glass quilt blocks are proof that you don't have to make blocks with tons of pieces to end up with a quilt that has lots of visual movement and texture. Two quick-pieced half square triangles and seven plain squares -- that's all it takes to make an Hour Glass quilt block.

I've included cutting instructions for two sizes, a 12-inch square block and a 6-inch square block. I've also included yardage and cutting instructions to help you make fifteen of the larger blocks.
