INSPIRATION I first saw this block on Barbara Brackman’s blog, Material Culture as “Unknown Pattern.”
STITCH BY MACHINE
OR
STITCH BY HAND
IF YOU LIKE MACHINE PIECING The arcs are great for chain piecing, and curves by machine have never been easier, thanks to the stitching lines and matching marks printed on the fabric with Inklingo.
IF YOU LIKE HAND PIECING The arcs are ideal for a portable project because they allow for continuous stitching by hand. Follow the instructions to move from one seam to the next without breaking the thread.
FUSSY CUTTING See the Clamshell entries on the All about Inklingo blog with photos showing how to print scraps and fussy cut with Inklingo.
There is a choice of regular and Combo layouts.
COMBO LAYOUTS! The shapes are laid out to use fabric efficiently, and COMBO layouts make it especially fast and easy. At least some of the cutting can be done with a 28mm rotary cutter. Since the lines are printed on the fabric, you can use scissors, if you prefer.
Love the lines. Quilt more!
LEARN TO HAND PIECE
The two-hour hand piecing lesson in Quilted Diamonds 2 is like taking a private lesson from me. The beautiful book and DVD are available again. MAIN CLAMSHELL PAGE
