I originally designed the Clamshell Edges 4-inch shape collection to offer the 4 shapes to finish clamshell quilts with a straight edge—but it does so much more! There is inspiration everywhere for new block designs.

There are other Clamshell shape collections available, so you can buy exactly what you need. The 4-inch Clamshell and 4-inch Clamshell Rose are sold separately.

Sewing with Inklingo is more fun because everything fits perfectly, presses well, and lies flat when you have matching marks on the curves and a line to sew along.

You can hand piece or machine piece the larger sizes.
