You can pause momentarily to say out loud, OHH, AWWW for our newest Bella 2 color quilt, TimePiece.

The yardage required is 3 3/4 yards of Bella Yellow (9900 221 - Sunflower) and 3 1/4 yards of Bella Super White (9900 436).  
The binding is included in the yardage for the yellow: backing - 4¾ yards.  

Hourglass blocks have been part of a quilter's repertoire since the early 1800s and have been used to surround medallions, as rows in quilts, and as a single block for a utility-type quilt. Although it would lend itself to a scrappy version, the antique hourglass quilts we've studied using this design date to the 1920s and 1930s, and all were two-color, two-fabric quilts. We chose to make a yellow quilt because it’s a perfect color for summer. 

With the right sides together, align the two squares. Stitch a scant ¼" seam on both sides of the drawn line. 

Cut the square apart on the drawn line. Press seams toward Color 1 to make 2 Half Square Triangle Blocks. 

Flip units right sides together. Align seams. 

Align seams. 

Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. Stitch a scant ¼" seam on both sides of the drawn line. Cut the square apart on the drawn line to make 2 quarter square triangle units. 

Square up the hourglass blocks to measure 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" with seams.

You will piece smaller hourglass pieces for the corner squares. Join the corner squares and sashing pieces following the pattern directions.

This color option is so stunning and graphic.

We are making a red and white version of each pattern. You can never have too many red and white quilts.
