Free Motion Quilt Crinkly Clamshells – #444

We had a great time machine quilting Egyptian Fans last week so this week I’m playing with more curvy shapes to make a super cute quilting design called Crinkly Clamshells!

It’s hard to believe we have 444 quilting designs to play with now! Just in case you’ve missed it before, you can find the full collection of designs right here at LeahDay.com. 

Crinkly Clamshells is a simple Echoing Design similar to Echo Shell and Echo Arches, but this design starts with a wiggly, crinkly shape (maybe the sea creature within the shell?) Because the echoes are simple half or quarter circle shapes, the design stacks easily together creating a cute texture for your quilts.
