2026 SHARR: Hourglass Blocks

The week 1 prompt for the 2026 SAHRR (Quilting Gail) was set as hourglass blocks by Songbird Designs.  I'm doing a single block for each prompt. After playing around in Electric Quilt for a bit, here's what I came up with. 





Just a simple block with 4 hourglasses. The fabric placement makes the design.  I had to work slowly to make sure I could get fabric into the right spots when I assembled the four squares.  





I'm not sure yet where the block is going to fit with my center, so for now it's just up on the design wall in the first postion. 

I'm ready for prompt #2. Linking up at Songbird Designs for the SAHRR prompt one and my usual Monday linky parties: Patchwork & Quilts and Sew and Tell Monday

I really like the movement your color placement creates within your block. Looks great!

I like your block design, it's just gorgeous! I'm making blocks too and looking forward to the next prompt.
One of these days, I'm going to get EQ, it looks like fun to play around with it.
