Hourglass Made Easy Bed Quilt

Made only using squares, this hourglass block quilt makes great use of a selection of coordinated prints from Janet Broxon’s Chloe collection for P&B Textiles. Arrangement doesn’t matter—the diagonal seams and darker fabrics in each block will create graphic angles across the quilt top.
