Not that I am wishing the days away, but I do look forward to the end of the month to see the progress of other Clamshell Club members. This is definitely a challenging, but fun project. I must admit that on a couple of occasions I was more then willing to toss my clamshells overboard. It may not be smooth sailing just yet, but I am feeling pretty pumped about my next round of clamshells.
This month I have increased my basting even more, changed my template some and I no longer draw seam lines on the front bottoms of my clamshells. I think my tweaking days may soon be over.

I'm loving all of the gorgeous Asian fabrics you're using in this one! I have a feeling that once you work out the kinks, this project will start to fly along at a great pace.
It's looking wonderful Karen, fantastic progress :D
Well done Karen! It takes a while to find out what works best for you. The rows look perfect to me. Keep going.
In a few days I will show a very surprising picture on my blog!
What a beautiful fabric. I have lots of asian fabric but never know exactly what to do with them. Maybe for my next clamm shell project.
Karen, they look great!
That's a lot of clams!! Seeing them hanging there reminds me of muscles clinging to the posts of the pier down by the ferry docks.

Isn't this fun? You're so clever to have perfected your process. It looks great! You will not be able to fit it on the door for very long now that you are concentrating on production rather than method!
It's looking fabulous!
Happy sewing!
You have mastered the art of making clamshells. Beautiful! Carol
Looks great your clamshells.
What a challenge! I love your colors and fabrics.
Fantastic fabrics! Your clamshells look amazing! I am learning a lot about sewing clamshells with this challenge. I can empathize with you about wanting to throw the first clams overboard.
It's looking great! Well done!

The clamshells are really pretty ! You do nice work. I usually don't write on my blog like I should, thank you for your comment about one of my (many) UFP's. The 'For Malcolm's Eyes Only' quilt is finished and was presented to him @ his 1st BD, celebrated 9/11. My grandson turned one on the 10th of Sept. You do beautiful work. I love it.
