Modern Hour Glass Quilt

 I saw this quilt on the Internet. It was one of those quilt patterns where I immediately fell in LOVE with it, stopped all my other projects, and turned my entire focus on it.  I got the fabrics from Hobby Lobby and started on it that day while the kiddos napped.

The pattern was supper easy.  Just a bunch of hour glass blocks turned on their point.

The colors are just right to make it fun and modern.  The one thing that didn't turn out quite like I'd envisioned was the size of the blocks.  I thought I was making them large enough, but they still turned out smaller than I would have preferred.  I was going for the big, large block look like the one I saw.

Oh, well. Still love it.


I love the back too. Fresh, modern, cheep.

There is one big flaw in this quilt.  I was so excited to get it done that I didn't baste it to the best of my ability.  So...when I was quilting it there are parts on the back that pucker and fold over into the stitching.

Still love it.

It is a child sized throw quilt, but now that it is done I'm not sure what to do with it.  Does any one want it?
Some day I hope to make another one very similar, only bigger blocks and bigger quilt.
