Playing with Clarissa

 I've been working on my Clarissa blocks for at least 20 minutes each day.  My March OMG (One Monthly Goal) was to complete at least five blocks.  I've completed eight. 
And now I have a total of 13 blocks toward my goal of 36. 

Inspired by a vintage quilt each block consists of 36 hourglasses (144 pieces cut from 1.5 inch strips). 



This will be an ongoing 20 minute a day project until I reach my goal of 36 blocks.  The 20 minutes includes cutting, trimming, ironing, and sewing. And although not always perfect ( I decided to be brave and show a photo of the back of a block) it includes twisting of the seams. 

Playing and twisting with Clarissa daily! 

So this is my March OMG finish post
and
my April OMG will be to complete 8 more blocks.

I love how this is turning out!! Breaking it down into little pieces is a great way to get something done! What size are the individual quarter size triangle blocks?

Amazing what you have achieved in 20 minutes slots. I am extremely impressed by all those tiny Hour glass units. I need a lie down after even contemplating making them!!!
