Clamshells?

This time, I followed the clamshell tutorial from The Inbox Jaunt.


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.

  1. I like what you did. The imperfections make it perfect! A person (you) lovingly made it! (Even if you are practicing!)

  2. Although 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!
