I love this quilt. I don't think I've ever seen one before. Are you sewing them together or appliqueing them to another piece of fabric. Since there is no pattern available for this, maybe you could do a tutorial? I would love to know how to do it.

I found this blog post that links to Barbara Brackman and has a link also to Inklingo. https://quiltobsession.wordpress.com...a-pickle-dish/ Interesting. Perhaps the lady does not communicate because the pattern is not hers???

They will be sewed together just like a clam shell quilt. I added a link for the pattern in this thread.

Rosie, what a wonderful quilt this will be....beautiful.
The original design is Karen Stone Clam Session. There is not a pattern. I HAVE TRIED FOR TWO YEARS NOW to get a response from Karen. I even contacted a group on the east coast that sponsored her class on this quilt several years ago. THEY HAD NO INFORMATION......They said Karen was hard to communicate with....they had to threatened to cancel their class to get her to call them about her arrival.....not responsive. Too bad...there are a lot of us that would have gladly paid for the pattern....instead we are left to our devices. LIKE EQ, right, Rosie.

Now I have read an old post and the ladies were trying to figure out how she did some of the things. I will show you some of the things I am doing in the next post.

I looked at the quilt by Karen Stone and she does do wonderful things etc. Here is a pic of what I did with my clam so you can get an idea what Karen does with her blocks. I traced my template on an old dryer sheet. then I just sewed some strips on it and when I got to the end of the tracing by the longer end, I sewed a wider strip and then re-traced my template, on the back in case it shrunk a bit and it did and I cut it out and spray starch with the up and down movement, and here you have an idea.
This quilt will take some time as I want to make some fancy work on that template like Karen did to hers. Remember is not as hard as it looks. If you paper piece, you can do the crown. mark your centers and pin the sides and off you go. I do want lots of greens in mine though. The block are about 10 inches across, just bit enough to play on. I will post every time I make a fancy one like the one now. You can do this, just be patient and play.
I made a mistake and worked on the smaller template that has the crown. I meant to work on the large template so I would have more room to play. I then just cut a plain crown for the block.
