Clam Shell Quilt

This is how it started two years ago.
Yes, two years ago I saw this in a quilting book and I had to make this quilt.
I first hand sewed the clams edges. This was great for long trips.
After sewing all the edges, I then started hand sewing them together.

After all the clams were stitched together, I sandwiched the top, batting and the back. And stitched the quilt together. I sewed each clam shell.

I thought I was making a lap quilt, little did I know it turned in to a bed quilt.

I love the puffiness!

I love the colors.
This took me two years, from start til end. I didn't work on it during the summer months, It was to warm to have this quilt on my lap. But when it got cooler, it was nice and cozy. This is a quilt Im NOT giving this away.
This is a keeper.
