I've never cared for clamshell quilts. That is, until I saw this one in black and white! Can't wait to try it.

[@cynthiasmith6465]

Laura, I love your style. You are so beautiful. I wish I had your beauty and style. Please do more videos. I'm a trucker but 4 years ago i was a dog groomer, grandma and a content quilter. My now ex-husband forced me into trucking. Boy was he surprised when I showed up with a moving truck. I watch other people quilt while I'm the bunk to satisfy my quilting jones. Love from the road.

[@paulajohnson6045]

Thats a great idea . I bet it you even look good with 10 inch squares too.

[@robinoey4608]

I found your channel about a month ago. You are such an excellent teacher! I love how you break everything down and explain it so I don't feel overwhelmed! Thank you!

[@poohbear101]

Genius. I love the clamshell, but not all the work, that’s exactly why I have not made a clamshell quilt. Not I will ponder making one. Yours turned beautiful. Color combination and layout was perfectly placed👍

[@stephanierobbins2538]

You are amazing lady I have watched you for the last 4 years I really enjoy watching you

[@pattyw7952]

What a great way to do a clamshell AND it's quilt as you go to boot! Thanks for the tutorial, Laura! I have to admit I didn't know where you were going with this one but as usual your directions were clear as a bell in the end. Just love it!

I like this method! I made a clamshell quilt once, and the curved piecing really gave me a headache, and I swore never again. This looks so much easier, and I love applique.

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Love this version of a clam quilt. I would add red clams randomly for a spot of color. Love your videos!

[@Stoffmonster467]

Yes, or green with some gold, like a dragon skin🐉

[@DryBonz1]

I've never done any quilting before, but always liked the idea of picking it up as a hobby (something to replace my timesink that is playing video games). I've lost a bunch of weight in the last couple years, and I've got a bunch of old, over-sized t-shirts that I figure I could put to use. This pattern seems really appropriate for smaller pieces of scrap fabric. I look forward to givin' it a try in the near future.

[@firstnamelastname-uq9hr]

Laura you are sew cleaver! To work this all out to such a degree that the finished quilt looks impossible to do, and to be quilted as you go.

[@norahmcphee4928]

Good evening Laura Ann, this is definitely a quilt for a more sophisticated room, but it could be a man's quilt no problem i think, but i'm only on my 2nd quilt so what would i know. I do think though that matching pillow shams would be lovely, tie backs in the clam design , with the backing material as curtains (i'm a nightmare for like thinks matching in) this would just finish off an elegant room. Thank you flower for another lovely quilt trip into sharing the ease in which we can do patterns that we wouldn't normally want to try. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

[@MxDomestic]

I love this in black & white. Great beauty

[@coleenhuff432]

It gives it a puffy look that I love.

[@nancyhaywood6486]

thank you Laura for sharing your beautiful quilts. just found your videos and am enjoying them very much.

[@deannaedgar7777]

I really enjoy how you explain things, you don't drag it out and it clear what to do. Really enjoy your videos

[@jayneterry8701]

Very innovative 💡! I wouldn't have minded a 4" strip of black at the bottom either. Love clamshells Tyfs 💗🎃

[@rosiehagar]

I love this! I think I’m going to follow this to attempt my first quilt ! ❤thank you for the step by step!!

[@Marietml]

Superb! Definitely my next project! Thank u for all your ideas and videos. ❤️ it! Mariet Faasen, South Africa 🇿🇦

[@suestutzle2779]

I love clam shells. What a great way of doing it. Really liked it in the black and white tones.

[@GIIG21]

Finally a super easy way to make these, THANK YOU!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Clamshell is a beautiful pattern, this makes its accessible. Thank you.

[@joymorley8006]

Hi Laura, your way is the best way I've seen to make a clam shell quilt. Thank you very much!

[@roseprocopio9526]

OMG…i have a black layer cake that I have been saving for ever but now i know what to do with it….thanks for this tutorial…Love you Laura!!!!

[@bethd5049]

All I can say is.............STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ashachebbi4131]

I liked this cuilt ‘ black and white’ .it came very nice.thank you.

[@carolrice3832]

Thank you for the downloadable pattern. Will be making isolette quilts for our local women’s & children’s hospital. And my first quilt as you go quilt.

[@phyllisdippert2216]

I would never have tried clamshell until this tutorial. Good job!

[@gypsygirl731]

Talent and great teaching. I love how you dress so professionally and talk slow enough so we can understand like I said great teaching. Beautiful nails. Nice job

[@tericasto174]

This I'm inspired. I wonder how you would do several 33" wide sections and join them to make a queen quilt that's 99" square?? I do make many quilts this way in small manageable sections and quilt them and put together to make a larger size quilt. Works great in my small space.

[@margiesierski1803]

This is a beautiful way to make this pattern, love it! You’re a great teacher!♥️

[@trudywolcott7419]

I LOVE this method. Thank you. I going to make one or two for kids.

[@stephiepeterson]

I love how approachable this makes sewing clamshells.

[@juliecumming9243]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I sent my Mum this video and she loves it too, and is going to try it.

[@maryt2887]

Enjoyed this quick variation on the construction of a clamshell quilt! Very ingenious!

[@CyndiChamberlain]

Loved your video. My house is being redone and I am going to make one for my bed. Wish me luck.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

My oldest grand daughter love black! Her birthday is Oct. 27th, not sure if that’s a factor but this would be perfect for her. I love it!

[@leonakofoed289]

Wow! I now wouldn’t mind doing a clam shell quilt. Thanks.

[@doreensherk287]

Wow, absolutely a genius way to put clam shells together. I wish they had a love or wow sign instead of just a thumbs up. That video would get a heart and a wow sign in my view. Thanks once again for a great learning video.

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Clamshell are my favorite. My first project was a large pillow w matching ruffles. After decades of garment sewing, I knew I didn't want to do all the fussy curves so I invented my first quilting technique. I used my sizzix clamshell die and fused my fabrics, cut my shapes, auditioned all the colors/prints, tapped and fused them to a muslim. Then, w one solid piece of fabric and my sandwich, I used my decorative stitches to attach and quilt around them. So easy and so fun. I love using all my deco stitches (Singer 9960, no end of decos w mirroring, flipping, elongating, etc) and w/o the seams there is a tiny overlap to cover the edges w the stitches. Easy peasy! I have a fancy presser foot for clamshell curves wh I've tried out in practice and it seems doable just haven't found the inspiration. Having found your video, I'm going to try your method today bc it looks easy and fun. Hopefully I can find some fabric like yours bc I have a duvet that is a fancy yin/yang design in blackish and whitish print and want something to coordinate. I'm on my way to Joann's bc I can't wait to get started. You're the best. Thank you for sharing.☮❤🙋

[@hadleywooten3689]

Oohhh I have three packs of five inch charms and this is the pattern for them!!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thank you !!!

[@marionbartley214]

Great tutorial on clamshell quilting this quilt is beautiful I love it, I love the prints thanks for video.

[@marikohashimoto1301]

素敵です。 作ってみたい作品のひとつで、参考にさせて頂きました。

[@annmartens3920]

This is the best! So much easier than the other methods! Well Done Thanks for sharing and figuring this easy method out!

[@tericasto174]

I love your idea and I wonder how I would make it in a king size? I think I could incorporate some vintage embroidery pieces that would make the quilt special for my sister. Thanks for sharing.

[@louisenordendale9056]

Thank you for your way of teaching! Very easy to understand! I never thought I would try the clam shell quilt but You changed my mind😊. ❤

[@susanmei9980]

This turned out so cute! Great job designing an easier way to pull off this quilt! 🌷

[@jandenly]

What are the measurements of the backing and batting. I know it depends on # of clamshells, however how do you calculate.

[@sandraeasley9354]

This really makes me want to make this pattern. It has always been a favorite but intimidating. You took the scary parts out. Thank you.

[@kimburke3189]

WOW! I just found this pattern! I love it! This is my next quilt (This week) Thank you!!! Love your videos. Not sure how I missed this one!

[@Wanda6308]

You are an amazing lady. I have always loved this pattern but have not made it. You make this so easy to do. I have really enjoyed watching this video. I can hardly wait to make it. Thank you ever so much.

[@fair780]

[@donnawilliams7478]

I would have never guessed you could quilt as you go with a clamshell. I love this video,

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

Never seen a quilt like this before. Such a beauty. Thanks for the video and the simple technique.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Beautiful! I can't imagine rotating a quilt 180 degrees while it's under the needle and in the harp space, but this turned out great.

[@evelynfrench804]

I just purchased some of the wash away stabilizer and am anxious to make the clamshell quilt. Looks like it would be fun to put together and fast! Thank you.

[@dianeroy1378]

I love this quilt and the method is genius. Thank you.

Holy crap Laura! This is incredible. I too have wanted to make a clam shell quilt but haven’t for the same reasons as you stated. But this method you created is a game changer. Thank you so much for figuring out a way to make this doable.

[@bonitaroberts3245]

I am going to try making it with a very much positivity.....this will keep me interesting busy....Made in Ravensmead South Africa 😊

[@cathynuytten798]

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

When I saw the picture of the quilt, I was wondering how it was done. Amazing! Love it!
