Instructions

Step 1:

Take one print square and one background square. Place them on top of each other, right sides together. Sew on the two sides (top and bottom not included) with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Once done, lay the ruler corner to corner, and cut diagonally. Now, you have a quarter square triangle. Press it open with the seams pressed toward the dark side.

Step 2:

Form the two-quarter triangles into a square. Lay them on top of each other and sew them together with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Make sure to nest the seams. Press it open. Trim it into a 13″ block.

Step 3:

Cut a 3″ strip from all sides.

Step 4:

Turn your hourglass in the middle first so the white matches up to the color and the color match up to the white. Flip the corner squares right around – white to color and color to white. Sew them together in rows first with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Once sewn, sew the rows together to make the block. Press the seams flat.

Step 5:

When you arrange the blocks, you have to turn the block after each one. You know you are wrong, when two colors are next to each other. When the blocks come together, the corners will form a pinwheel. You need 6 blocks across and 6 blocks down for a total of 36. For the outer border, they are three-inch half-square triangles.
