The colors in this clamshell pattern are so cheerful and beachy—they instantly make me smile. Simple piecing meant I put the top together faster than I expected, perfect for a weekend project. I’ve already picked out fabrics for a second one.

I was a little nervous about tackling clamshells, but the simple piecing technique made it so easy that I finished the top in a weekend. The modern colors really do capture that warm, beachy summer feel perfectly.
