I've been tussling with the next round on the Lone Round Robin. The prompt for this round is to add an Hourglass block. My first idea was to have a streeeetched out one. Usually they're a square made up of contrasting triangles.
This is the usual way you make an hourglass block. Two fabrics, sew on both sides of a diagonal then cut apart on the two diagonals.
Yeah, that's not gonna do it.
Okay, try this again, sew the pieces together in a way that'll actually work. Those points look like they might be in the right place...
But now what?
Trying out some "regular" hourglasses.
It's going to be hard to get this just right. It's a bit much as far too many colors and prints in this round. Might have to take some of them out or maybe put the greens on one side and the oranges on the other.
Hmmm, can work with that.
I'm going to have to play around with this a little before I sew it together. Maybe some "background" squares in-between?

I know your stretched hourglass blocks aren't exactly HRTs, but they reminded me of an hourlong discussion about quick piecing HRTs with P, Wm and Cathy doing mega amounts of math to try and figure out if it was possible.
