I've decided to pull an older quilt out of the mix for my OMG October goal. I'll be doing a little of this...
and a little of this...
as I finish the blocks and put together the top of my clam shell quilt. I love the warm and bright colours of this quilt and I'm looking forward to spending some more time with it.
I haven't done a lot of curved piecing and it's been a while, so I'm hoping it's like riding a bicycle. This pattern uses the quick curve ruler and some trimming, so it's a little easier than some drunkard paths. I'm linking up with the OMG linkup at Elm Street Quilts. I'm hoping it will keep me motivated and on track. I was supposed to be working on these blocks all this week but that didn't happen. Tomorrow is always another day.
I love this! It's going to be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI really like the bright and happy colors. I think you'll find it's just like riding a bicycle, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeleteNow that's for me - machine piecing for clamshells! These look great - have fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's how they go, for me anyway, "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" it looks lovely Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI've been working with warm bright colours lately as well. Love your project.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! The fabrics are stunning.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your curves. I like your prints.
ReplyDeleteLove these colors! Is the background light blue, or gray? Now I want to do some curved piecing again...so many quilts, so little time :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bright pretty fabrics, it is going to grow up to be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a very pretty quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
ReplyDeleteClam shells, what fun! I really like the prints you are using.
ReplyDeleteI always thought clamshells were made with applique. This looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteProgress already! You can do it.
ReplyDeleteOOH! This is a lovely quilt Lisa! I have a love for pink and orange ever since I made an improv curves quilt for my eldest daughter, so freeing both in freeform cutting and in out-of-my-comfort-zone-but-I-fell-in-love colours!
