Hand Pieced QAL Quarter Square Triangle

Week 4 of the Hand Pieced Quilt Along features the Quarter Square Triangle. Patty supplied the video and instructions (and encouragement!) This block is also known as the Hour Glass block, and all pieces are cut individually and pieced together.

This time I did not mark seams prior to sewing. I simply eyeballed the quarter inch seams, and lo and behold I finally achieved a 6-1/2 inch square. Lol! Although it was a little bit challenging in the middle of each unit and at the center of the block, I enjoyed sewing these triangles together.

I am linking this post to Patty's Hand Pieced QAL link-up where you can find some very pretty versions of this block!

    You're such a rebel - sewing it up without marking the seam allowance, lol! Your block looks great, Linda! I enjoyed sewing the hour glass blocks in this one because the pieces were a little bigger. My block 5 hour glass blocks came out a bit wonky, though!

      Lol I'm proud to be a rebel. ;)
      My orange unit on this block came out wonky. For me, there seems to be one every week.

    This is beautiful! Those triangles are just perfect. I can only imagine the horror my own non-quilting hands could create.
