California Hourglass Quilt
The California Hourglass quilt is made by combining two different quilt blocks, California Crossroads and Hourglass. Most fabrics are repeated in each quilt block (a light bluish-green is unique to California Crossroads).If you like the overall color value of the quilt's layout, but would like to change the colors, consider the placement of value (darks and lights) when choosing a color scheme that suits you.
