Description

The Clamshell Pickle 11-inch design is so unusual that Barbara Brackman called it “Unknown Pattern” on the Material Culture blog. Of course, Inklingo quilters asked for it right away! They knew they could get wonderful results if they had Inklingo’s precise stitching lines and matching marks.

The arcs are ideal for “continuous stitching” by hand while you watch TV, and then you can machine piece the rest for a fast finish.

The half-clamshells allow you to finish the edges.

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

    There is no way I would ever have worked this pattern without Inklingo: too many pieces to mark, too much fussing. Now my biggest problem is figuring out what colors to do it in! I love perfect points and this does it! Continuous piecing of the spikes is so easy and fast. It’s easy to do a clamshell a nite with no stress.
