I was able to kill two birds with one stone...so to speak. I was sent the AccuQuilt Go Baby 4" Clamshell die to try and the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild that I belong asked us to "challenge yourself" with some beauitful Monoluna Meadow fabric. I made this wall hanging:
I was unsuccessful at machine piecing, so I sewed a thin fusible to the back, trimmed the seam allowance, turned and then fused to muslin. I finished with a machine blanket stitch.
Another finish this week is the March block for the Mid Century Modern Bee. This was Cindy's choice and I love the result:
The tutorial can be found here.

Beautiful projects Mary. I've always wanted to make a mini with the block pattern. I think this might be the time to actually do it. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the Spider Web block with those fabrics. The clamshells have always fascinated me too. Very nice.
Two great projects Mary.
I find the clamshell fiddly to piece by hand, but I do like how you machined around them.

Your spider block got my attention so I've bookmarked that tutorial. Thanks!
Cindy is going to have an amazing quilt with thought spiderweb blocks! I am dying to see some of them together!
I love how you always challenge yourself. I love the spiderweb. When I first looked at your pretty clamshell I thought it was a solid piece of printed fabric. It's very pretty.
I die cut some clamshells recently and I had to use a ton of pins to piece the curves. Machine applique works, too!
Love your clamshells
Love that crossword fabric in the center of your spiderweb block!
