Black and White Hourglass Block

Use this Black and White Hourglass Block to add bold contrast to your hourglass quilt patterns. Unlike plainer hourglass quilt blocks, this block is a nine patch quilt pattern that looks like an hourglass because of the color patterns used, rather than the piecework. You need only two half-square triangles and a few solid-colored squares to make this simple nine patch. If you want an intergalactic or space themed quilt block, you should try this one out in the same colors and patterns. This is an easy nine patch quilt block to make for any bigger quilt project.
