Traditional Quilting on a Traditional Quilt
Diane made this traditional quilt with beautiful fabrics. She wanted a simple edge-to-edge design so I put on my thinking cap and came up with clamshells! Yes, clamshells are a very traditional type of quilting women have used for 100 years or so, and this quilt reminded me of the Victorian era. I couldn't do just the basic E2E on this because of the distinct borders. So.... I gave this one the clamshells in the center with one small freehand border design, and then had to do piano keys (done with a ruler) on the large floral border. I think it came out lovely.
