After playing with hexagons for a long time and in many projects I decided to try a different English paper piecing shape : the clamshell.
The result is nice but certainly not easy ... someone has already tried to make it and has some suggestions for me?
Ciao Nicoletta che meraviglia questo " clamshell!!! Farai un quilt? Ti ho ritrovata oggi su F.b. ed è stata una vera gioia!

RispondiEliminaon the right hand side of my blog. You have to scroll w-a-y down toward the bottom and you will see my list of Labels.
Just click on the Clamshell Tutorial.
I hope my tutorial will help you. In my 5 yrs. of blogging my Clamshell Tutorial is my #1 read post.
This reminds me, I don't think I ever posted my finished quilt.....hhhmmm, I should check into it.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me!
I want to make a clamshell quilt, but the thought of all of that cutting keeps me from even starting. Yours is looking great -- love those owls!
RispondiEliminaLooks challenging but will be very nice when completed!
RispondiEliminaCiao Nichi, volevo dirti che esiste anche un tutorial di Sue Daley sia sul suo sito (patchwork with busyfingers) che su You tube, lei usa una tecnica sua particolare, ma magari può esserti utile. Un abbraccio Piera
