Finally! I know. Callaloo Quilt was one of those patterns that was a bit of a struggle to bring to life. But, it was SO worth it. It’s sorta like the second coming of Glam Clam but this time – with pieced clams! Woot! Callaloo Quilt got its name from a Caribbean stew-like dish of the same name. It is made with Callaloo greens and a variety of seafood, sometimes including clams, of course. Like this quilt, though, each pot of Callaloo can be as varied as the maker that creates it.
This is the Cover Quilt version – isn’t she a beauty?! In this 36 page pattern there are 10 Clamshell blocks included with piecing instructions for the full block as well as instructions to piece the right, left, bottom, and bottom corners! It is designed to work with the Clammy 12″ exclusively.
You have the option of a total of three different Design paths.
Design Option 1 – Make a Sampler Quilt in one of seven sizes. This is when you get to play, play, play! Select two or more of the 10 clamshell blocks and have fun with layout and arrangement.
Design Option 2 – Make a Single Clam Quilt. Don’t tell the other Design Options but this may just be my favorite! Pick one of the 10 clamshells and make a quilt out of that! Sometimes simple is best. So far I’ve made Hexie Clam and Happy as a Clam. I’m working on a Half Baked Clams now. And, I can’t wait to pick the perfect fabrics to make a Plaid Clam! Which one is your favorite?!
Design Option 3 – Cover Quilt – There’s something really fun about using all of the shapes in one quilt! I’ve laid it out for you in all seven sizes from Pillow up to King along with some guidance on fabric selection.
The printed pattern has everything that you NEED to make the quilt included in the package including the additional templates. All 15 pages of bonus material like Coloring Sheets, Row Labels, and Design Planners can be accessed through a easy to use download code included in every printed pattern. You will also receive the PDF as a part of that download!
