Hour Glass Block - Block ReMix Challenge - Fabric Pull

I am so excited about this month's block.  It's simple, it's classic and oh, so verstaile.   It can stand alone or it can be in a supporting role paired with a variety of other blocks.  

The Hour Glass Block is sometimes referred to as a Quarter Square Triangle block or QST for short.  

I'm going super springy with my fabric pull for this month and am using a 6 fat quarter bundle of pastel Kona Solids from Robert Kauffman.   This exact bundle is available in my Etsy shop. 

Yes, send a bundle to me! 

I truly love the opportunity to play and experiment with different blocks as part of the REMIX challenge.  I'm going to keep playing with this block, so be sure to watch for next week's Sneak Peek #2. 

Each Monday, the participating designers are sharing about the challenge on their Instagram feeds.  Some of us are adding other social media too.   If you don't already follow me on Instagram, I'm @masterpiecequilting
