Here is a quilt I’ve finally photographed called “Dunes”!

It is a clamshell quilt, but with splashes of color inserted into the scallop-shapes! To make this I improvisationally pieced some curved color splashes into swaths of a low-volume fabric, and then used a 15″ template I ordered from Baycreek Quilting Products to cut-out the shapes that I called “dunes.” I used the assembly instructions as written in Latifah Saafir’s Glam Clam Quilt pattern.

The quilting designs vary by dune – some are pebbled, some are straight lines, some are scallops, and some are echo-ing curved lines. I did each using free-motion quilting on my home machine and I left the color splashes un-quilted.
