\"machine-pieced<\/a>As I’ve explained before, I’m taking an online series of classes<\/a> — fantastically wonderful classes — that are issued monthly. The class I did in August was a different “take” on paper piecing from what I’ve typically done in the past. The samples I made from this were fun to do. First, I made samples of two different sizes of hexagons, pieced entirely by machine and without splitting any of the hexagons. The larger ones are 2″, and the smaller ones are 1″.<\/p>\n

\"clamshells\"<\/a>The next sample was clamshells, and this was also really fun and very rewarding. I didn’t do many of them, but I don’t anticipate making an entire quilt of clamshells, anyway. However, I could definitely see making some as *part* of a quilt. I learned to draft my own clamshells in whatever size I like and then to add them to a backing to get the desired result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
