Here is the 12th block for my "Clarissa was a Superstar" quilt. There are 36 hourglass blocks in one 12" Clarissa block. This one is really scrappy and used up a lot of small pieces. Up close the block really is a bit of a scrappy mishmash, but far away, it's fantastic!
Here are all 12 blocks on the design wall.
Total # of triangles = 1,728!
I wasn't sure how many blocks the quilt would be when I started this leader-ender hourglass challenge. I'm still not certain, but I do know it will be more than 12, because I'm still having fun and want to keep going with this project. The original Clarissa quilt has 42 blocks! That's probably not going to happen, but 20 blocks is looking like a reasonable goal at the moment.

These blocks are so pretty, this is going to be a lovely quilt. Are you going to have sashing in between them or haven't you planned those details yet. Have a great day!
I love how each block is a little different than the next one with colour and value placement. It's fun to look at all the variety in the scraps you used too.
Your blocks are looking wonderful!
This is going to be a fun quilt when it's all done. I can't imagine doing all those hourglass blocks!
This is beautiful! :)
I love the way the value placement within your color scheme switches up each block, giving it its own look.
This is a most unique quilt and color. At first I did not think I would like the colors but you have done an amazing job!
so great looking...that is alot of hourglass units!
such tiny pieces o make these hour glass blocks way beyond me what a great job you have done tiny is far too fiddly for me unless it is just joining scraps together in a random way
This is one of my favorite projects to check in on. Love the block and the colors you are using. I was sad to hear that Judy's decided to stop design wall Monday. I've found so many great quilters via the Monday Design Wall link up.
I'm really going to miss the Design Wall Monday, too. That's how I found your blog! :(
Ps-- Your Clarissa is really taking shape!
Good thing I saved your BLOG on my Sidebar. I missed the announcement, I was at a Retreat with no WIFI. I didn't get to post much or comment. Glad to be Home and will be Linking up with a different Judy tomorrow. Judy H, Thanks for keeping the links going.
