Inklingo Clamshell Rose templates

The shapes in the new Clamshell Rose shape collection create some elegant possibilities.

When I started playing with the melon shape, my sketchbook filled up quickly.

I can hardly wait to share them with you!

 

Clamshell Rose 8 inch block

Even the simplest 8 inch block has possibilities.

Two of these use the corner shape and two of these replace each corner with a melon and two “bottom half” clamshells.

Intriguing. I need to play with this.

 

Clamshell Rose 12 inch blocks

These are 12 inch blocks.

 

Clamshell template 4 inch

TIP Every Clamshell is 4 inches across and that makes it is easy to confirm the block size.

 

Clamshell Rose 16 inch block

These are 16 inch blocks.

 

Clamshell Rose melon shape

This 8 inch block doesn’t use a Clamshell at all! It is a mini Orange Peel.

(Other sizes of Orange Peel are available. Main Orange Peel Page.)

If you’ve been following Inklingo from the beginning, you know that each new shape collection is at a special low price for the first few days and that’s it. It works like a kind of loyalty program because existing Inklingo quilters are the most likely to hear about the new shapes first and get the lowest price.

  1. I am searching for construction instructions. I’ve got the pieces and trialed the curves, but haven’t seen anything on how to construct, how to press seams. Am I looking in the wrong places? Help please

  2. Hi Tamara,
    I’m glad you like them. I have fabric spread out all over the floor trying to make a decision on my next color combinations for these shapes. 🙂

  4. Thanks for sharing your Sketchbook with us, Linda. Great and intriguing designs….so many possibilities. Sorry I’ve been such a stranger lately. Am tied up with some family medical issues right now, but hopefully will be back in the “Inklingo” swing of things very soon. Your posts are such a beautiful diversion for me. I do so appreciate them. Thanks so much.

  5. Clamshell Rose is quickly becoming my new favourite Inklingo collection. The shapes make for some fantastic versatility when it comes to design possibilities. Now, if only I could teach the cats to sew so I could make everything I want to make as fast as possible!! The mini orange peel is very, very enticing!!
