Full Size, "I Spy a Clamshell" 2008ish

This quilt has quite a history.  I saw it, and the technique to make and thought "I can do that easy".  I put a quilt all together, laid it out and it was crazy off kilter, Not the least bit straight.  I pulled it all apart!  couldn't leave it like that.  Then I put it back together, both times all by hand.  This time I made sure, as much as possible to keep the lines straight.  Each piece was a 3" x 3 1/2" rectangle, rounded off on one end and gathered, then appliqued into the row.  I named it "I Spy, because most of the clamshells were fussy cut around a picture,  see the one of a Kachina doll.  I hand quilted it, and I believe there is a big section that I haven't finished.  Don't know if I ever will.
