ITTY BITTY HOURGLASS

After the usual weekend housework (yuk!), I spent some time whipping up this cute little hourglass miniature quilt. Each block measures 1 1/2" square. Total size is 10 1/2" square. I'm going to add this to the "small quilt" wall in the den when I accumulate a few more.

Barbara said...: Thanks Lynne for the answer.

Because the binding, at least in the web photo, appears the same color as the border, I thought the edge was all one and topstitched.

I too love doing the binding !; June 7, 2010 at 7:23 AM
