You did a great job on the quilting and the curves. I haven't tried curves yet. Thanks for the push to try.

Thanks, I did it by machine. And it's also quilted on my machine.

I don't like to leave raw edges on my quilts, but yours is very pretty. I actually like a challenge. It doesn't mean I'd do more of them since I mastered it, but can add it to my mental "accomplished" list:>

Did you find your pattern online? As I would love to buy the pattern or book, need to find the publisher.

Thanks

Yes, it was a bit hard and I didn't have a pattern. Although I did have an acrylic template I bought years and years ago. It did come with a pattern for a light and dark quilt, but the clamshells faced eachother and I didn't care for the positioning or the pattern. I decided to "do my own thing" with the shells and see what happened. I wanted to do it with all my scraps, so I figured if I messed it up no big loss. I liked how it came out, especially since I "winged" it and had no pattern to follow.
