Hourglass Quilt Block

"The hourglass quilt block is a classic block that is so easy to make. Beginning with just two squares of fabric, you sew them together, cut them apart, and re-sew the pieces back together creating the traditional hourglass block. Find the complete step-by-step process complete with a video tutorial on my site. PLUS want to make them a different size? I've got a free printable chart for making multiple sized blocks from very small 2 inch blocks to large 12 inch blocks."
