The Bonus Project! - Using hourglass leftovers from the Four Patch Trellis quilt
Вставка

- I hope you saved your off cuts from the Four Patch Trellis quilt because this is the bonus project to use them!
If you saved the off cuts and made the hourglass blocks, you are already most of the way finished with the pieces you need for this project. A bit of extra background and contrasting fabric, as well as an accent fabric and you can create this really cute table runner. With the colours I've used, I think it looks a bit like a tile floor.

Really clever way of turning the hour glass blocks.
Makes me realise you should take time to play and see what happens.
Thank you for opening up possibilities.
Thanks Claire! This was a first for me too and I think I'll take some time to see what other interesting ways these hourglasses turned into squares can be used. Thanks for watching.
Love the way you used these hourglass blocks. What a great pattern. Also love the aboriginal fabric.
Thanks Kathryn! I was looking for a setting that wasn't just more hourglasses and they practically disappear in this layout. I think there might be some major potential for other designs like this..... 🤔
Awwwww! Nice to see you, loved the aboriginal fabric….it comes across as mustard, eggplant and such…it looks to me like mosaics on a Roman Villa floor….loved the project…
Thanks Marq! I love the aboriginal fabric as well - it is so beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for watching.
I love it! Bonus projects are the best! 🎉
Hi Ann! I agree! Even though there is a bit more work and a bit more fabric, I love reducing the overall waste on a project and getting a whole other bonus item. Thanks for watching.
Very happy to have your bonus project pop up. Love the focus fabric you choose it made a gorgeous table runner.
Thanks Jean!
Hi MIchelle! I love your table runner and it's a very smart use of the bits & pieces! I especially like the way you finished those "tiles" by adding the border.
Thanks Beth! It was new for me to turn the hourglass blocks into squares. I'll have to see what else the imagination can conjure up....🤔 Thanks for watching.
Lovely!
🥰
Thanks Linda!
Beautiful!!!!
Thanks Vera! It's small, but super cute. Thanks for watching.
It is too cute. Michelle, I love your focus fabric. Have a great weekend.
🎶💐💖🫂
Thanks Carla!
Fabulous bonus project Michelle! It bowled me over. ❤
Thank you so much!
Love the way you put the hour glass together into a checkerboard. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Cynthia! I'm trying to find new ways to use these blocks and I think the hourglass really disappears in this instance and they become a checkerboard.
so clever! I get so excited to see what you will share every time you post 🙃
Thanks Karen! That's so kind of you! It was fun to look at the hourglass blocks a bit differently and try a new setting. Thanks for watching.
Michelle...thanks...just lovely❤
It takes a bit of effort to use up the off-cuts, but it feels like making something out of nothing and I love that.
TY Michelle for sharing your knowledge ❤
Hi Brenda - it has been a fun adventure developing videos and running a UA-cam channel. Thanks for your support.
I love the way you squared up my lightbulb went off😂😂
Sometimes it's all in how you look at it! As Jenny Doan says, we all have different brains and they all work differently!
great engineering skills! Thank you for sharing your talent with others.
Thanks so much Mary! My dad was a great engineer and problem solver and I'd like to think I inherited a bit of his problem solving ability. Thanks for watching.
Very nice. I love the look with the aboriginal fabric. I have a lot of scraps so this would definitely be on my to-do list.
Hi Katie! I save these hourglass blocks as leftovers from other projects and I'm always trying to think of new ways to use them. There are other ideas on my website in the section of free patterns. I hope you will check it out.
Very cute I agree using for secondary projects is the best
Thanks Debee! It's a thrill to use up every little piece - even it if means a bit more fabric. Thanks for watching.
Cool bonus project.
Thanks Peggy - I hope you will give it a try!
Beautiful!
Thanks Cynthia!
I've been making these nifty type of half square triangles. I didn't realize until now how to use them in a different way. Thank you.
Thanks Marion! They are my favourite bonus block and I'm working on other ways to use them. This was new for me as well and I'm keen to explore what else might be possible. Thanks for watching.
It’s beautiful
Thanks!
I remember you making that quilt❤❤
Hi Brenda! I hope you followed along with the Four Patch Trellis quilt - this project uses the left overs from that one. Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
Thanks Arvetta! Hope you will give this a try.
I want to remember your hourglass block thank you
Thanks Sylvia! There are other videos on the channel that use these hourglass blocks and patterns on my website at: www.bitsandpiecesquilting.com.
That's gorgeous - the Aboriginal fabric works so well with the black and white. I've been catching up on watching videos while trimming 288 tiny hourglasses (I wonder what they might be for? ;-) )
Hi FutureCat! I hope those hourglass blocks are fun to make!! Inspiration to save future pieces from the sew and flip method??? 😜🤣
@@bitspiecesquilting I wish I'd thought to save the offcuts, but I used them in the FPP blocks. At least they didn't go to waste! 😁
