New Block of the Month

I am so sorry I missed Quilt Guild Meeting....I was so sick that I couldn't get out of bed.  You wouldn't have wanted me to come and spread my germs around anyway.  Thanks to Marsha for stepping in to show you how to make the Shooting Star block.  And thanks to Arlene Bartholomew for stepping in and taking pictures.  (Arlene, you can email them to me at oldcapitalquiltguild@gmail.com or text them to me at 435-253-2249)

Here is a pattern for September Block of the Month..It is called Disappearing Hourglass.  It is a really fun block.  Here are the instructions:
