Clamshell quilt

There is certainly more to making a quilt than just sitting down to stitch. Sometimes the cutting process just seems to take forever. That is certainly the case with the paper pieced clamshell quilt I started this year. I have pulled out lots of fabrics and I am slowly moving through the stack by cutting between 5 and 12 clams from each. They still need to be glued to their paper shape before stitching too. This will definitely be a long term project for me.
In these pictures you can see my stash of fabrics as well as some clams which I have already cut. Little by little the pile gets bigger.
