This is the disappearing hour glass 2 quilt, as demoed by Jenny Doan of The Missouri Quilt Company. I love this nice BIG block -- very satisfying to make with a layer cake. I added the green square just because ...
I think this is my new favorite quilt ...
Although -- See that kind of gray square in the lower-r quadrant? I decided to swap that out with a blue block that was left over from the border fabric. That gray one doesn't quite fit ... There-- Isn't that better? [See the photo at the top of the post.]
Working on this was a much-needed distraction from the news. Other options for names: The Glass Half Full Quilt, or The Blue Optimist, even though it feels like everything I've ever known is going to come crashing down with this Chump administration.
I think I'm going to tie it with a wool batt. This will be a lovely deep winter quilt.
Maybe I can even pull out the quilter's frame I acquired at Quilt Camp a few years ago and put it to use?
If I push the big loom aside for a while, there would be room to set it up.

I'd have to agree about the grey block. At first I thought it was just made from pale blue fabric, but on closer inspection, it isn't at all. And as such i found it distracting. If you're going to go different go bold like the green block!
