Ultimate Beginner Quilt Block 5: Hourglass Four Patch

Welcome to the Ultimate Beginner Quilt sew along! Today Kimberly’s going to show us how to make Block 5, the Hourglass Four Patch. You can find all the details on the Fat Quarter Shop blog.

For my hourglass four patch block, I used two lines of Moda fabrics: Day in Paris and Grunge. I like the almost-solid look of the Grunge fabrics.

Sewing With My Nieces

My nieces are busy with vacations, work, and school; however, we’re still sewing together. Ms. M is caught up, and Miss A is progressing nicely.

If you’re new here, you can easily go back and see my earlier blocks: Stripes, Nine Patch, Picture Window, and Half Square Triangle Four Patch. I hope you’re enjoying this Ultimate Beginner Quilt. Let me know in the comments if you’re sewing along with another family member!

Joyfully,
