little quilt monday~~~clamshell mini quilt

Little Quilt Monday

I am having so much fun learning tips and techniques for working with curves in Curve Camp this month, and this clamshell mini quilt is one of my class projects.  The basic pattern is a machine appliquéd  pillow, and I decided to make it into a mini quilt and add some big stitch quilting.  I will not go into the process of this project, because it is Rachel's pattern and technique for the machine appliquéd clamshells.  I definitely recommend taking her class on curves next time it is offered : )

I used osnaburg cotton fabric that looks like linen.  The charm squares are Moda, but I cannot remember the name of the designer, the charms were in my stash.  edited 2-15-12.....I just figured out the charm pack is Folklorique by Fig Tree Quilts for Moda : )

I hand stitched the clamshell shape with olive green crochet thread.  After I put the binding on, I decided it was too plain, so I added more hand stitching!  This mini quilt is about 15 X 15 inches.  I have linked up to Sew Modern Monday , Fabric Tuesday, and Finish It Up Friday.
