My Favorite Quilt Block Blog Hop - Last Day, My Day, and Giveaway - Hourglass

Welcome
to
the final day of the
My Favorite Quilt Block Blog Hop.

 I'm sad to see this hop end.
My vision became a reality thanks to everyone who played along.

It has been so fun to see all the 
favorite quilt blocks
take center stage for one week
and
to all that participated or commented -
Thank you so much!

The projects have all been fantastic and the posts have been so inspiring.
I can't wait to start on my next idea from the hop.

But first, it's my day to show my favorite quilt block.


The quarter square triangle aka - Hourglass quilt block


Is this a block or a component of a block?
Either way it's my favorite (today) and fun with 2 colors or 4.
This time I used 4 different colors per block with the new
Petal Pushers collection by Island Batik.

I mixed the quarter square triangle blocks with squares of the fabrics to make the quilt.


The quilting was on my long arm with Glide thread (color - Raven) and Hobbs cotton batting.

I made a tutorial to make Hourglass blocks back in 2016.
I made the hourglass blocks a little larger for this quilt.


Part of the fun for me is the pictures.
This one is on the dock that my hubby built.



I invited quilt bloggers to 
"Show your favorite quilt block"
Show it, explain why you love it, and make it a project.

What a treat to hop
 around all week and see 
some new quilt blocks, some old quilt blocks,
and some fresh quilty ideas to inspire us.

I'm excited to introduce today's line-up of bloggers.

Friday, September 13th

    Thank you for allowing me into the hop this week. I learned that although a block may look difficult it's probably just in your head. Your's is another I don't think I have made, thanks a lot, one more to the bucket list :) Hopefully I can remember to check back for the November hop.

    I really enjoyed seeing the scrappy churn dash, and the disappearing 9 patch in on my bucket list (I have even bought the fabric for it). Maybe in 2020 I can actually get it made. Thanks for the blog hop. It is always inspiring to see the wonderful creations. Nancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.com

    All the projects today were delightful, and I especially love yours Carla, because the colors are amazing. Your quilt just dances! Thanks so much for this hop. I think my favorite posts of the whole hop were the canoe block, because I had never seen one before, and broken dishes, because I never knew how to sew that one before. Wonderful learning and inspiration!

    I enjoy hourglass blocks too, but even more so as a disappearing block! I also love that they turn into a star block when used in the Ohio Star setting. It's so neat how versatile all the blocks can be, it seems like a quilter should never be bored. :)
