Look at these Flower clams!

Yesterday 

you were promised another version

of the flower clam...

Today

I deliver!

HA!

Here is the flower clam

with the rows of petals 

the same each pass.

Look at each row...

the petal size is the same for each row.

This adds an even texture.

As you look closely,

notice how EACH petal doesn't even touch the previous row.

That's OK!

Your eye sees it as touching...

funny eyes we have!

Also,

notice how each flower is different in size.

Again,

this adds interest.  

Really pretty!

On a quilt...

this is amazing!

Now,

we also talked about doing the petals in rows...

Here is Row Petal Flower Clam stitched out.

This is the SAME 

Flower Clam!

Hard to believe...

I KNOW!!!

The difference is simply making each 

petal touch the previous row in the same indention

as the previous row.

What you create is rows of petals.

Isn't it AMAZING

how many different designs 

you can make out of 

ONE 

simple quilt design?

How many more can we come up with?

Let's see what else we can do with clams!

Are you keeping up?

If you quilt these 2 samples,

you'll have 6 quilted samples of 

Clams!

Stitch the pieces of life together!

They make a BEAUTIFUL quilt!!!
