Hi, Jenny, love your tutorials. In regard to this particular one, what size are the squares in the nine-patch on the quilt behind you that go with the hour glass quilting block? Am I right that you used the 10-inch layer cake for the hour glass square in that quilt, too? Also, I can see how many blocks wide it is. How many blocks long is it? I would love to make use of your layer cakes and make a quilt like the one behind you. Thanks.

Re: Hour glass quilting block - beginner block quilting series
I am pretty sure you are referring to the altered squares quilt behind Jenny. They one in aquas, greens and browns? If so it takes 2 layer cakes, one cut on the diagonal (a big X across the layer cake) and the other, for the 9 patches in a big +. So your nine patch blocks are made from 5" squares as well.
I can't help you on the size of the quilt.K is for Karen 😊​..................

Re: Hour glass quilting block - beginner block quilting series
Thanks for answering. That is the one I'm talking about. Okay, so 2 layer cakes. Now, if you cut the one into 4 squares for the nine-patch, and the nine-patch has 5" squares, won't it be bigger than the hour glass block since at its biggest it could only be 10" square?

You are right, and I said 9 patch when it is actually a 4 patch. I knew something was off. It will work with a 4 patch.
Jenny has a tutorial for Altered Squares in her Sympoz classes. Someplace on this site is a link for half-price on those classes. They are well worth the money.K is for Karen 😊​..................
