These hour-glass blocks were cut freehand, and then machine stitched with a quarter inch seam. The original squares which I cut into quarters were 2.5", 3.5" and 5.5". I didn't plan them that way, that's just how they came out of my green scrap bag. At the moment they aren't much, but I'm planning on making many more in these sizes, and making them fit!
As far as the colour goes at the moment I plan to stay with greens, and add blue, aqua and yellow in limited amounts, taking my cue from the small block lower left.. Of course this will probably change! It's improv after all!
Happy sewing
Marly.

A start is a start is a start...the best way to do it.
This looks to be a fun colored quilt. Look forward to seeing your progress.
What fun to start with a few scraps and see where it leads.
Congrats for getting started! Love those greens!
Good for you! Great piecing too.
Great start. The greens have a nice contrast going. Can't wait to see the addition of your new colors.
