I'm in love

Aren't these the sweetest little blocks?

Tiny Tuesday - Hourglass

I had "spun" the seams in the lighter block and it caused distortion in the quarter-squares.


And pressing the rows to one side caused lumpy intersections.
I pressed seams open on the darker block


Much better results.

    I love those, Libby - and I would call the lighter one wonky, not distorted! I wussed out and did my block for that week in the medium size. Four hourglasses instead of nine.

    Hmm... maybe I'll have to give this TINY block a try.

    They are beauties! I don't like pressing seams open, but sometimes that is the only way to get the block to lay flat.
