2nd Disappearing Hour Glass 2 Quilt Top is Complete

 

2nd Disappearing Hour Glass 2 Quilt Top

I was so pleased with this pattern / technique that I made another one.  It works so well with a layer cake and a background fabric.  

I purchased some fat quarter sets that I thought might work for something else, and wound up cutting 10-inch squares from the quarters to make this one.  The blocks work up quick enough, and they are large enough to make you feel like you are actually making progress!

I was so happy with how the Disappearing Hour Glass 2 quilt top turned out, that I wanted to try another one, so I bought a couple of fat quarter sets to mix -- purples and grays and blues this time.  The pattern calls for 30 10-inch squares.  I'll have 40 to choose from with leftovers:

From Mrs T's Mercantile on etsy.

 

Some of the purples and pinks and mauves turned out to be too "girly" so they didn't make the final cut.  

 

 

And this one with more grays to blacks ...  This is another wonderful color combination from Mrs T's Mercantile on etsy.   It has more of a Civil War vibe to it.  Or silk ties!

 

I wound up mixing in a few others from my stash that seemed to meld well overall.

Another quilt top to add to the pile to be sandwiched.
