How many Disappearing Hourglass blocks do I have now?



At my last update I had 12 blocks completed but I couldn't stop there. I am loving making these blocks so I have made another 4 block to bring the total to 16 after I fixed my little mistake.The last 8 I made this month.

 Now my question to you is Do I stop at 16 and make a square quilt or do I make another 4 to make it 20 and do a 4 x5 rectangle quilt? What do you think? I would love to know what you think.
All 16 blocks laid out.
Until Next Time

Do you recognize this block?


I am sure some of you will recognize this block especially if you follow Missouri Star Quilt Company. It is their Disappearing Hourglass #1 block. I have wanted to make this quilt since the first time I saw Jenny's tutorial on it. I wanted to use our Multi coloured batik Layer Cake with some neutral yardage to make the quilt up in.
Well I have started it. It is an easy block.

 You start with half square triangles sew them in to a hourglass block, cut it, twist it and sew it back together. Here is the link to the tutorial for all the details.

This is my first four blocks completed.
But look what you can create with our Multi coloured Batik Layer Cake which is on special at Cynthia's Ark for $35 and an extra 2.6 metres of cream marble which has just arrived in stock. Let's have some fun.
