Goin' Through Time - Time in a Bottle Blog Hop

   Welcome to the first day of the

Time in a Bottle Blog Hop!

I'm happy to kick things off with
"Goin' Through Time"


Carol at Just Let Me Quilt presented bloggers with the challenge to make something
with an hourglass block.
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!


I hinted back in November about this quilt and what I had in mind to make
when I made this mug rug for the


I'm trying to use as much of my stash fabric as possible this year
and I cut strips of varying widths to fit with the hourglass blocks.
It was so fun to design and put together this 
Rainbow Hourglass quilt
that I call
Goin' Through Time


because the strips go "through" the hourglass blocks.
I have a free tutorial to make hourglass blocks that I made several years ago.
Click HERE for that.


Goin' Through Time
 is about 40" x 50" and is quilted with a simple meander.
The backing is a grey Minky fabric for coziness.


I love to make quilts in rainbow colors.


Want some more
Hourglass block inspiration?

Here is the full schedule:


It's so fun to get inspiration from Blog Hops.
I'm sure we will have way too many ideas swimming in our heads by the end of the week.


See you next month for Joan's
(my kind of hop for sure...)

Official sign-ups for the May Blog Hop will start soon 
(after the Time in a Bottle blog hop is over).


Stay tuned for the announcement here at 
Creatin' in the Sticks.

Yowsa!! Hourglass blocks, meh. But you have once again proved that an artist can make anything spectacular!! Thanks for showing how very wrong I was, and making me want to run out and get a spectacular fat quarter bundle and go to town!!

Beautiful rainbow Carla. I love a good rainbow and yours has such saturated color too.

Your quilt is gorgeous and I really love the name and concept of it. So perfect for the hop theme!

Annie said...

This is such a very fun rainbow hour glass quilt! And a bonus stash buster. I love the mug rug and it was a great inspiration to go big with the design.

Carol said...

Awesome quilt! The rainbow colors are wonderful with the hour glasses interspersed. It reminds me of the Gypsy's Wife or Wander's Wife quilt with the vertical aspect of it, but this is so much simpler and just as lovely.

Calicojoan said...
