This Inklingo shape collection includes one shape, one size. Other clamshell shape collections are available, so you can buy exactly what you need.

The clamshell is a classic quilt shape with endless design possibilities. Variations of this design appear in quilts from many eras, and it still inspires quilters today.

I was inspired by historic clamshell quilts in the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) collection in London, documented in well-known quilt history books.

Sewing with Inklingo is more fun because everything fits perfectly, presses well, and lies flat. Clamshell is a wonderful tessellation.

NOTE  Clamshell 2.5-inch is small. If you intend to sew by machine, you will probably prefer a larger size.

Theresa in England says: I can not believe how easy these are to piece together. Being inexperienced at piecing together curved shapes. . .The directions are clear and the clamshells go together so easily and quickly.

There are wonderful opportunities for fussy cutting with TWO Inklingo methods.

Love the lines. Quilt more!

Relax and sew! Spend your time stitching, not getting ready to stitch. Print the cutting and stitching lines on scraps from your stash.

Printing the stitching lines and matching marks on the fabric with Clamshell 2.5-inch makes sewing the curves easier than with acrylic templates.

If you are new to Inklingo, I strongly recommend starting with the free Diamond Triangle Square shape collection. It includes the first chapter of The Inklingo Handbook and some great shapes to print on fabric to get you started.
