Assemble Hourglass Units
1. Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line on wrong side of each blue vine, pink star, yellow star, and green vine 7-1/4" square.
2. Layer a marked blue vine square atop a pink floral 7-1/4" square. Sew together with two seams, stitching 1/4" on each side of drawn line (Diagram 5). Cut apart on drawn line to make two triangle units. Press each triangle unit open, pressing seams toward blue vine, to make two blue vine triangle-squares. Each should be 6-7/8" square including seam allowances.
3. Repeat Step 2 using a marked blue vine square and a white multicolor floral 7-1/4" square to make two white triangle-squares (Diagram 6).
4. Mark a diagonal line perpendicular to seam line on wrong side of each white triangle-square.
5. Referring to Diagram 7, layer a marked white triangle-square atop a blue vine triangle-square, placing blue vine triangles in opposite corners. Sew together with two seams, stitching 1/4" on each side of drawn line. Cut apart on drawn line to make two triangle units. Press each unit open, pressing seam in one direction, to make two blue vine hourglass units. Each unit should be 6-1/2" square including seam allowances. Repeat with remaining blue vine and marked white triangle-squares to make four blue hourglass units total.
6. Using marked pink star squares, blue floral 7-1/4” square, and white multicolor floral 7-1/4” square, repeat steps 2–5 to make four pink hourglass units (Diagram 8).
7. Using marked yellow star squares, blue floral 7-1/4” square, and white multicolor floral 7-1/4” square, repeat steps 2–5 to make four yellow hourglass units (Diagram 9).
8. Using marked green vine print squares, pink floral 7-1/4" square, and white multicolor floral 7-1/4" square, repeat steps 2–5 to make four green hourglass units (Diagram 10).
