This first block is called Double Hourglass. It was for week 50. It is a 9inch block. I didn't follow the instructions very well. I made the hourglass units in groups of two, so I ended up with four of them. I only needed three, so in order not to waste a unit, I put a novelty print in the centre and put the hourglass units around it. This created a whole new block, but it is in keeping with the novelty 9in. blocks I have made in the past. I hope to make all of the 9in. blocks into a baby quilt soon.
The next block is called 'Four Square'. It was for week 51 and it is a 12in. block. This one has lots of HST and 2 1/2 inch units. I like it, but I doubt if I will ever make it again.
And this is the block for week 52. It is called Double Cross. It is a small 8in. block. It was easy and quick. So now I have finished all of the blocks for 2009! That means I have 52+ orphan blocks in my collection. I think it's time to put together some quilts. Don't you?

I like the 4 square block. It is like a glorified Bento Box square.
that last one, I always called spool, not double cross. I know a lot of blocks have more than one name.
i love the red cat.
sppoky likes red cats too.

You've done a great job with these. Do I understand that you are doing another set of these each Friday in 2010???
Fun blocks. I love the cat! You've been so good to keep up with these.
You are truly dedicated.....so are you hoisting the Friday Block party for next year?
