There are many, many ways to use the new Clamshell Rose shape collection shown in Part 1 and Part 2.

This time, I am playing with replacing some of the whole Clamshells with half Clamshells to create new effects.

It’s mind-boggling! LOL

It may be hard to decide on a final design but one thing is for sure. When you print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo, the preparation is faster and the sewing is more precise and more fun!

This is the same as the first one—but with one little tweak that makes me like this one even more.

  2. I definitely see butterflies in one of those designs – and can just imagine some possibilities with fussy cutting/printing!! All these gorgeous designs with so much curved piecing make me giddy! 🙂

  3. These are so lovely! Funny, I assumed the sketches were created using EQ, too! Thanks for all this inspiration, Linda! Oh, and Monkey! 😀

  4. Hi Marianne,
    I did not design these quilts in EQ. In fact, I have not even tried to draw Clamshell shapes in EQ yet. 🙂
    I will see if I can figure something out, but so far the only solution I can see is to use 4 squares bisected with a curve for each clamshell.

  5. Love these. Makes me wish I was better at using EQ7 so that I could play and design these quilts in it…..But since I am not good at it, I have no idea how to create the shapes in EQ7 to design with….
