Boxed Hourglass from a Tube

Found a nifty Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorial a while back and worked up a block to use as practice for free motion quilting. The practice block stayed with all my other quilting helps, but eventually I forgot where I had found the pattern and how the block was cut and sewn! Aaaargh! Happily I ran across the tutorial tonight. Click here and see what you think of it.

       Use two strips of 2.5 inch WOF (width of fabric) strips sewn togehter. Then lay a 4.25 inch WOF strip on top and sew using 1/4 inch seam to form a tube. Use 45 degree angle line of ruler laid on the 1/4 inch seam of tube at one side of tube; make cut, then move the angle line to other side of the tube (on 1/4 inch seam line again) to make cut. Do for four cuts and you get the pieces of the double hourglass set on point.
