Green Eggs and…Clams!

While at Quilters’ Faire, Sandy and I spotted this beauty…a Clamshell quilt made out of Kona Solids….We both stood gawking at it for quite some time…

The quilt was composed of huge clam shells done in solids…and beautifully quilted!  We loved the way the quilter put a group of same colours with a pop of different colours randomly!  Yikes…are we turning ‘modern’?!

We also agreed that it would be lovely in prints too!!

Nice…eh?

    What a great quilt - and I love the quilting on it. Yes I find myself dipping my toe into the brighter fabric pool. I like it - not going to give up my wools and darks - no way sister - but like the brighter softer look enough to start collecting lol.

    I do like the pops of color. So far I haven't ventured into solids but I certainly do appreciate the modern quilts now too.

    I love how the solids give a different twist to the oattern.

    I also like how she/he spit the top back grown colours. Finally I like how the five different clams have different textured quilting in them along with the diferent quilting in the grey and white clams. Thanks for sharing this modern view with us Paulette.
