Welcome to the first day of the
Time in a Bottle Blog Hop!
I'm happy to kick things off with
"Goin' Through Time"
with an hourglass block.
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!
when I made this mug rug for the
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
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.
Want some more

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

Stay tuned for the announcement here at

ReplyDeleteA fun and colourful quilt, I love the rainbow effect through the hourglasses!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteHappy and beautiful. Two words from me that describe my feelings about your quilt. This one sings, some quilts do that. This one is singing a happy tune. Thanks fo creating it.
ReplyDeleteYowsa!! 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!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow Carla. I love a good rainbow and yours has such saturated color too.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous and I really love the name and concept of it. So perfect for the hop theme!
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to stash bust and I love the bright colors too. Blog hops are so full of inspiration. Now I'm thinking about my stash and fun ways to use it up.
ReplyDeleteCarla, What a great quilt. I love your design. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Carla! The minky on the back will make it so soft and cuddly! I still love your mug rug too!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are so right about having new quilt ideas swimming through my mind! This is just my second blog stop on the week's hop and, I have two "want to quilt, NEED to quilt!" ideas. Yours will be great for the Comfort Quilts group to which I belong. Thanks for sharing.
