There's a lot wrong with my clamshells, but on a quilt with prints and little pieces and seams, I don't think it would be as obvious. And, with enough practice, I think they'll look pretty good. I hate how tiny these stitches are, but I can't make the curved shapes quickly enough to get any kind of decent stitch length. Yet.
I like what you did. The imperfections make it perfect! A person (you) lovingly made it! (Even if you are practicing!)
ReplyDeleteAlthough you think your clamshells are imperfect...they really remind me of the razor clams we have here in Washington! I think I need to make a "themed" quilt and incorporate these!
ReplyDeleteI think they look great!!
ReplyDeleteI admire your work and quilty pursuits. I really need to try more machine quilting!
ReplyDeletepractice makes perfect. I admire you for giving it a try. I need to do the same because I love the look of clamshells.
ReplyDeleteI actually love what you've done. It looks folk art-y. Keep on quilting. :)
