4-Patch Hourglass Blocks for The Restoration House

Hello KMQG members!

It's time to work on blocks for our next quilt for The Restoration House, and we're going with a 4-patch hourglass block that is 12.5 inches unfinished.

I had a lot of fun making (four of) this block, so I wrote up a tutorial for it, available here: http://www.inspiremegrey.com/2016/09/4-patch-hourglass-block-tutorial.html

We ask that you pair Denyse Schmidt prints (bright ones preferred) with solids. If you don't have any Denyse Schmidt fabric in your stash, Marybeth has offered to share hers. You can get some from her at the meeting on Sept 17, or if you can't make it to that meeting, email modknoxville@gmail.com and we'll make arrangements to get you the fabric you need.

Blocks are due at our meeting on Nov 19.
