Make and Quilt a Clamshell Quilt all in One Step

[@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.

[@janistorres559]

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

[@paulajohnson6045]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@MelissaPaciulli]

I completely agree! Just found this chanel and it is awesome!! such a great instructor and your pace is awesome- and the tips are incredible.

[@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!

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🐉

[@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👍

[@Marietml]

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

[@deannaedgar7777]

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

[@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

[@nancyhaywood6486]

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

[@bethd5049]

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

[@trudywolcott7419]

I love the way you explain the process…so clear and distinct, and slow. Keep up the great work. We learn so much and we love your videos. 🎉

[@bethkoch11]

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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@phyllisdippert2216]

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

[@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!!!!

[@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.

[@MxDomestic]

I love this in black & white. Great beauty

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

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

[@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

[@ashachebbi4131]

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

[@maryt2887]

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

[@joymorley8006]

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

[@kathymitchener2229]

Amazing! What a great alternative. Will be fun to make for a baby quilt. Thank you for the Tutorial.

[@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.

[@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.

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

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

[@annmartens3920]

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

[@janecatalano8621]

This would make such a lovely baby quilt in pastel colors. I think my new granddaughter has a present in her near future! Thanks so much for the tutorial, Laura!

[@marionbartley214]

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

[@trudywolcott7419]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rosiehagar]

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

[@mavisharris5123]

Love,love,love this quilt and the technique! Genius

[@leonakofoed289]

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

[@jayneterry8701]

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

[@donnawilliams7478]

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

[@lindaanderic]

This is a beautiful quilt, Laura. I am going to use this pattern to make throw pillows for gifts!

[@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😊. ❤

[@marye.taylor8349]

Great quilt, thanks Laura, your tutorials are always "sew very easy" you are a treasure!

[@ЛюдмилаЛунева-ц5щ]

Какая интересная техника исполнения. Одеяло получилось оригинальное и красивое. Спасибо за идею.

[@viktoriya6275]

А что она на бумагу делала? Пришила ее?? Не понятно

[@ЛюдмилаЛунева-ц5щ]

@@viktoriya6275 Мне кажется, что это не бумага. При выворачивании она бы порвалась. Как вариант, можно пришить самый дешёвый флизелин или ненужную ткань. Например, от старой простыни.

[@dorenenagy564]

Thank you for showing us an easier way of making the clam shell pattern. I can't wait to try it. Love your videos.

[@stephiepeterson]

I love how approachable this makes sewing clamshells.

[@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!

[@hadleywooten3689]

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

[@stephanierobbins2538]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@quartzquilter9351]

Beautiful! Thank you for your time and energy you put into your videos. So very talented!

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

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.

[@margiesierski1803]

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

[@fair780]

I just received my quilt -as-you-go clamshell book. So excited to start one after the holidays. Thanks Laura!

[@1960Connie]

Lovely pattern! Beautiful done! I love the black and white prints!!!

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Me too, connie!🙋‍♀️

[@lorraineknox7695]

Thankyou that is beautiful and so easy to follow. I am going to make in calico with embroidered flowers on each clam shell. Wonderful.

[@marisanepote9255]

What a lovely quilt! Thanks for sharing

[@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!

[@Treaclepuff]

What a cool idea! Thankyou for simplifying this design! I look forward to trying it my self!

[@georgettecappuccilli6225]

Thank you for this easier way of doing clam shapes quilt. Love it will definitely make one.

[@nanashouse202]

I love this. I’ve watched this several times. The fabric is lovely. Thanks

[@margaretshaw1562]

Thank you for this video and the many others that have inspired me. When I watch your videos, I feel like I’m visiting with a friend. I look forward to the next ones where I’ll learn something new. Thanks again.

[@bethsmith5208]

Love this!! I also like the clamshell but not all the traditional appliqué/piecing. This is genius

[@pywagner]

Such a clever idea for the clam shell!! I love the look too but not crazy about sewing all those curved seams. Thank you for sharing this, Laura!

[@coleenhuff432]

It gives it a puffy look that I love.

[@deborahannreid5655]

This quilt is so beautiful! Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

[@cathynuytten798]

I am making this clamshell quilt in blue fabrics it will be the center section of a larger quilt I did all the placing and ironing in place on the batting yesterday. I love it so far. Thanks so much for the easy and complete instructions. You are always so thorough!

[@dianeroy1378]

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

[@bonitaroberts3245]

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

[@barbaramangel4746]

This is a gorgeous quilt! Thank you for teaching us how to make it.

[@craftyone5991]

Oh that’s looks like it was a lot of work thank you for showing me the easy way to make such a lovely quilt 💜

[@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.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Very pretty and classic looking Laura!

[@grumpy_poo]

Thank you so much.... I wanted to make a baby quilt and was trying to work out just how I could quilt as you go.... what a brilliant way to do it.

[@henny5272]

Gracias Laura, precioso resultado. Siempre tus tutoriales son diferentes. Gracias por tus enseñanzas. Dios te bendiga. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kayjohns346]

Beautiful! I always enjoy your videos and always learn so much. Thank you so much for the videos !

[@Zephulastar]

You are a genius. My mind is blown. Thanks for the great video!😀

[@CyndiChamberlain]

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

[@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.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

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

[@judyl3492]

Wow now this clam shell is user friendly. Thanks

[@sherryfaires7931]

Such a great tutorial! The black and white combo is really pretty! Thanks for sharing!

[@yolandahale1996]

Love this ideia ,im going to try this and maybe use 4 charm packs , Thank You .

[@nbc911]

Thank you. I love this technique. Great looking quilt 💗

[@ladyd54]

Thanks for a great video and template sheet. I can see using this same idea/method and using mini-charms for a great mini quilt.

[@peggyplumat8710]

J'ai adoré votre méthode qui est très agréable à faire. Merci pour ce tutoriel.

[@bridgetwhite5547]

That's brilliant. I love the clamshell and the quilt is all done in one go brilliant. Thank you for sharing that process 😊 💐

[@HRHDMKYT]

This is a very revolutionary method for simplifying the classic clamshell quilt. So incredibly clever!! I think a baby would love such a textured quilt to fidget with their tiny fingers. Thanks for sharing such a remarkably ingenious way to quilt-as-you-go and make such a usually tricky to piece design. I just might try to make a pair of pillow covers like these. The black and white fabrics you chose are stunning! ~Diana K.

[@marilynhardman5239]

Fabulous idea! I will certainly be using this pattern. Thank you Laura! 💐

[@sonjawade6799]

Amazing tutorial. Your step by step without zooming thru, makes this quilt seem easy to make. I’m sure even new quilters can follow this tutorial. Thank you so much 🇬🇧🥰

[@carinamabelcaceres815]

Me encanta tu trabajo bellísimo Soy de Formosa capital República Argentina

[@mjpenfold2143]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! I might have a suggestion but need to try it first. I will contact you. I am soooooooo excited to try this out. Thank you so much!

[@bettys375]

Love this quilt. It will be my next one. Your tutorial was excellent and thorough. Thank you for the tenacity in teaching. ❤

[@IngridMijares]

Que excelente idea y el resultado, bellísimo. Gracias por compartirnos tus conocimientos. Saludos desde Venezuela

[@karenjohnson8945]

What a beautiful quilt. I just love this pattern. I think this would suit a beginner, which I am.

[@cheryllundell961]

How clever! I have always loved the clamshell too; but not the work. I may try one now.

[@suzanner8360]

This is great. I love how this looks but I was always put off by the thought of sewing curves and using a template. I definitely want to try this.
