Green and Black Hour Glass Quilt

 

This quilt is for a guy who loves green.
Started back in March so pretty good for me to complete in just a few months!

I'm not naming it but for some reason, I find it entertaining to think of names.  I thought maybe Emerald Isle, Emeralds and Granite, or Green Goblin.




I didn't forget to label it!

It was constructed with these hour glass blocks which I made by cutting out 14 1/2" squares of greens or blacks.  I cut them into four triangles by cutting diagonally twice, and then sewed into the hour glass block shape and trim to 13 1/4".  Later I saw a quicker way to do this, which would be to place right sides together and then sew along TWO sides across from each other and then slice diagonally once and then finish sewing those two into the hour glass block.

Sew blocks on point and use half an hour glass block for the setting triangles.  I added borders to make it a generous queen size.
