If you already have 2 1/2 squares, the process will be faster.
I have done these twobasic blocksa lot of times before, but I never thought of combining them.
The pattern is created by alternating the two blocks and rotating the hourglass block for each row.
Line them up and place them on top of each other.
Cut the strips into 2 1/2 squares.
Sew a 1/4 away from either side of the line.
Once done, cut directly on the line.
Set the seams, open, and press toward the dark side.
Trim into 6 1/2 squares.
Now you have two half-square triangles.
Step 3:
Start by making the nine patches.
Get 9 pieces of 2 1/2 squares and arrange them into a block.
ensure to alternate the colored and background squares.
Sew the rows together to make the nine-patch block.
Step 4:
Arrange the hourglass and nine patch blocks alternately to make the quilt.
Continue the process until you finish the quilt.
