Hour Glass Trellis Quilt Top

Just finished flimsy waterfall backdrop.
What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday there was a snowstorm and today it's sunny and nice.





The parent squares are 12 1/2" sewn diagonally and cut to get 2 HSTs.  Then iron open hst.  Place two different HSTs rst and again sew and cut on the diagonal to get an 11 1/2" unfinished hour glass blocks.  Sashing is 2" strips.

Here's yesterday's snowstorm.

Love your flimsy! It just looks like Spring even with the snow.😊 I'm not sure where you live but it looks like the foothills. When we lived in Colorado, the snow falling and then quickly disappearing always fascinated me. Happy Easter! ~Jeanne
