Today should have been spent cleaning up my studio and organizing the projects that need to be ready when I go to Retreat next week, but, instead, I got a little sidetracked.
A while back I made some clam shells. They were cut on the Accu Go machine at my local quilt shop. I put them up on the design wall. After looking at them for a few days I decided to make a pillow.

It was easier to applique the clam shells on the pillow top so I faced the clam shells with the same fabric as the background. This made them a little thicker and the background blended better.
So the top was made and I made the quilt sandwich and pin basted it. That has been lying on my worktable for several weeks...
Today I was trying to get projects ready to take to Retreat. I thought I would finish this pillow top at the retreat so I set out to get the back pieces cut so I could sew it all together next week.
One thing led to another and voila! I had a pillow top made.
Organic straight line quilting in the top part of the pillow:
Serpentine quilting in the lower part;
After assembling it into a pillow top I tossed it in the washer and dryer to get the "crinkle" look.
I really love this!!
