Clamshell Project is Quilted, At Last




After all the trouble I encountered trying to quilt my clamshell project, I let it rest for two weeks.  Fortunately, I was able to finish quilting it Saturday with a minimum of drama and it is now ready for trimming and binding.  My plan is to pull out my cutting table later this week and possibly pin baste my next project.



These are the hexagons I completed this week.



This is how I envision they will be used in the next border.  I need to make eight more before I can determine their final placement.  

Everyone is happy that we have had a mild cool-down with highs expected in the 50s this week.  Last week included several days in the mid to high 80s.  There are only minimal chances for rain.

LOVE your clamshell quilt! Your hexies look so pretty, you are really coming along on that project. Glad you had a cooldown. I am happy with ours, but Hubs is miserable. ;)

I've done a clam shell border but never a whole quilt it is an interesting shape to work with

I like your layout of colors in the clamshell quilt. I'm sure it's a relief that the quilting is done.
