    Just goes to show that you may need to spend money on fabric but you don't have to do that for the quilting part if you don't want to or cannot do so. My favorite quilt is the one on the left in the first photo. I think they are Chinese lanterns but I really like the way you have put them together and quilted them. Just beautiful!

    How have you hung the quilts? Used poly batting
    - lighter weight than cotton? Great looking.

    Thank you all. I was going to make an instruction thingie but I realized that sewing the clam shells by hand is different than sewing them on the machine. I did download a pattern from the internet and then resized the pattern to what size I wanted to make the clam shell. I made a plastic template and traced it on my material, cut it out and sewed them together. It is the same sewing technique as dunkard's path.
