    Default Clamshell Quilting

    I joined this board a few yrs ago to learn how to do a
    CLAMSHELL quilt. I started one, but didn't get to far

    Can anyone here tell me how you did it?

    I;m going row by row and appliqueing it, Is that how you do it?

    I;ve seen some great tutorials on youtube.com, I think the clamshell makes a very beautiful quilt .

    Yes, I think you are on the right track with appliquéing each row onto previous one. Love sue Daley videos.......I bought the GO die for clamshells...haven't tried anything with it...it is not small though, so I wonder if there is a way of machine sewing those things together.......has anyone done that? I think I will try the small ones sue Daley demoed......

    If I was to do it, I'd go with a die cut shape for the accuracy. . . http://youtu.be/BYXAH9N60zI
