Lancaster Pt 2

Last time you saw my
 Lancaster Quilt 
it looked like this and I had just finished Block / Part 1


I have now been back to my LQS and picked up part 2


So it was now time for me to play with some Clamshells.
All new to new to me :)


and a few nights in front of the TV with the good old "Stable Table"


I wasn't sure how I was going to keep the rows straight 
so I clipped them to a ruler :o)


and it worked a treat!


all four corners done


and pinned to the centre panel


I have now appliquéd  the corners on and trimmed


So far, so good. Now for Block 3

    Oh I do so love to see these designs with EPP! Seeing new and fresh ideas is just such a blessing! I love EPP, and I can't ever seem to get my Mojo going on finding beautiful pattern ideas. I of course never think to put them on background fabric.

    Your clams look lovely. I started mine wholst on holiday and still at the centre block. A tip for clamshells is to tack the first row onto a 2 inch strip for the required length, to help keep them all in line. I like your tip too!
