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.
My goodness this is beautiful.
