Remember these I was busy cutting & preparing a few weeks ago? Well they have gradually been stitched together to form this..........
I finally decided on the layout below........a clamshell trip around the world. I've nearly used up those previously prepared & will print out the next batch using the 3.5" Inklingo version which should really speed up the prep time. Thank you Linda, Cathi & Theresa for all your help & advice :)
Just one little flower produced for One Flower Wednesday nestling amongst the Lobelia. This variety is called Crystal Palace, my favourite as it's such a vibrant blue.
.......and finally all my Klosjes are now made, 192 in total (4.75" sq) & the last ones are being stitched together to add the final 3 rows to the bottom of the main piece, this top should be finished this week.
Hope you're all having a great week where ever you are in the world, the weather is glorious here in Jersey, it finally feels like summer!Happy stitching :)
Your clamshells look wonderful Gisele, that's going to be a gorgeous quilt. Lovely flower too - I like the stripes and congratulations on finishing your klosje :D

ReplyDeleteI sorta feel like my clamshell is a project from "the other side of the tracks" (meaning cheapside). Ahh, I giggle.
What a complete delight to see your magical clamshells come to life. Thank you for sharing. *karendianne.
Lovely work!!

ReplyDeleteLove the Clamshell design you have chosen, and as I am hexagon crazy , your hexagon goes without saying. I must say I will look forward to all the quilts in blogland as soon as you all have made enough for a quilt.
