I wonder how this pickle would look in a larger size? I might make one just to see. It would also be easier to put the collar on since the pickle curve wouldn't be so tight. The smaller the clam, the tighter the curve.
I drafted a bigger pattern, so far with the collar on, it measures 11 inches across. The clam itself measures about 6.5 and the collar about 2 inches, it will finish at 10.5. I like the way it looks and then I won't have to make to many for a quilt lol.
I noticed on my first sample, that the points on each side of the collar weren't right, so I adjusted that already and now have to make another sample to make sure.
I will still finish the smaller ones and use those for a bag of some sort or whatever.
