Matching Hourglass Blocks

This simple tutorial for hour glass quilt patterns shows you how to make two matching hourglass blocks from two squares of fabric. The finished blocks will be roughly the same size as the squares you begin with. These traditional quilt blocks look great as accents to more complicated piecework patterns, or they can stand alone in a basic hourglass quilt.
