This inspiration photo was saved years ago. Maker unknown (NOT my work) Combining that inspiration with the current Ad Hoc Improv Quilters hourglass block challenge . . . Here is my fabric pull -- fabrics to the left for 6.5" squares and fabrics to the right for hourglass units. My goal is to cut one square from each fabric to achieve an eclectic scrappy vibe. (that bicycle print from the stash will be used for the back) Here's a closer look at the pairs of fabrics for hourglass blocks. After trimming the hourglass blocks to 6.5" this is what was left behind. (I started with 8.5" squares) Somehow, I messed up on the math and ended up with half as many hourglasses as were needed. Back to the stash for fabric pull part two. Leftover trimmings from the second 20 hourglasses. First layout - to get them all up on the design wall. (the colors are so much prettier in real life - the mix of indoor and window light was not cooperating) I'll do some tweaking and maybe a bit of substituting before I sew this together. Target size 48" x 60" And I've named this one Copacetic, which means "completely satisfactory." Quiltdivajulie
