Hourglass Frenzy

Here are the four latest shard blocks where each block has 16 hourglass units. In my Oct. 11, 2021 post, I show how I make them four at a time from strips and four patches. For this block, I just use two fabrics. But if I vary the four patches, I can make the hourglasses so that each fabric in the unit is different.

And please forgive this photo. Although I am getting better at adjusting the photos in Affinity Photo, there is a huge disparity of how the photo looks within the program and how it is showing up here...in the blogger editing program. Guess I should first check to see how it looks elsewhere on different devices.

And in the Dec. 9, 2021 post, I showed what size strips I need to cut in order to make a particular size hourglass. I was mostly looking at larger sizes, and decided to add some smaller size hourglass blocks. For homework, I will let you show what happens when you use 1 inch strips. (Warning: these reflect how I cut and sew, so your mileage may differ.)

Oh, and here are the hourglass units I made for Part 4 of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. As a reminder, I am making an opposite quilt where I use secondary colors instead of primary colors. Where Bonnie calls for neutrals, I am using black and where she is using pink, I am using medium purple. For garnet (dark pink), I am using light purple.
