"This was just the inspiration I needed! I had made a race quilt with strips left over from a wedding gift quilt that I wanted to give to the same couple for a crib quilt for their first baby. When I saw this, I realized I could use some of the orphan blocks left from the original in it! Thanks for the great idea!!"

You can be a quilting magician when you put together this Disappearing Hourglass Quilt Block. This quilt block looks time consuming, but that's another one of its deceptions! This hourglass quilt is quick and easy, especially if you use charm squares because then half the work is done for you. There is even a video tutorial that is two minutes long, which means that you can learn how to quilt this block in less that five minutes. You can use three colors of fabric or just two, depending on what you have on hand.
