Today is our stop on the FreeSpirit Fabrics “True Colors” Blog Tour, and we thank you for stopping by Craft Buds! We are Mary and Lindsay, and we use this space to share sewing and crafting tutorials, handmade business tips and more.
Today I’m sharing a quilt I’ve sewn from Heather’s True Colors and the coordinating line Lottie Da. I also used four solid fabrics from my stash.
I chose to work with a traditional Clamshell Quilt pattern, because I loved the way to blocks show off individual fabrics, and I feel the curves really complement the floral and geometric prints in the fabric.
In case you are wondering about the gorgeous longarm quilting, it is the work of Suppose Create Delight! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the variety of quilting patterns in each individual clamshell, not to mention the super-quick turnaround and great pricing. I definitely recommend their services!
Clamshell Quilt Assembly Tips:
– If you have a die-cutting machine, you can cut out these blocks quickly and easily! I used the Accuquilt 8″ finished Clamshell die, and there is also a 4″ Clamshell die available.
– If you do not have a die cutting machine, no worries! Check out Latifah Saafir’s free patterns for an 8″ Glam Clam or 12″ Glam Clam quilt, each with printable templates and detailed assembly instructions.
– I recommend using a design wall to lay out your fabrics until you are happy with the arrangement.
If you aren’t familiar with FreeSpirit’s new True Colors collections, they are vibrant coordinates meant to blend well with other fabric lines. Pictured above (clockwise from the top left) are: Joel Dewberry, Anna Maria Horner, Jenean Morrison and Heather Bailey’s True Colors collections.
Color plays a huge role in our lives, but it’s not very often that I take the time out to recognize the beauty of the colors around me. This video shares more about the True Colors collections from each designer’s point of view.

I love feathers…but I am not very good at them…yet!
Love this whole True Colors line. I have already purchased some FQs. I seem to gravitate toward any block with stars–and there are many! Thanks for the chance to win some more of this gorgeous fabric!
Love love love this clamshell quilt! How fun! Beautiful fabrics! I think i will day-dream of clamshells all day today!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. ~Cat
I like the Ohio Star quilt block.
I’ve always loved Grandmother’s Flower Garden. It’s a nice pattern to use up scraps or a huge array of colors. It was the first block I learned to make when I was first married, over 37 years ago!!
These fabrics are just so bright and happy! I would love to make a quilt with these fabrics – alternating blocks of pinwheels and appliqued daisies. 🙂
Those clamshells are adorable! Love that! I really like the look of Drunkard’s Path quilts. I’d have to say that is my favorite traditional design.
My favorite classic quilt pattern to date is the Irish Chain….I have just been exposed to it and am loving the versatility in the design! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I love your quilt. It’s beautiful. My favorite classic block is a churn dash. It is such a simple block that can really highlight a fabric pattern.
Gorgeous fabrics! Jacob’s Ladder is my favorite classic quilt pattern!
My favorite classic quilt block is a Log Cabin quilt!
Thanks!
This clam shell pattern is gorgeous. I’m to skittish to try curves in my own work. I’m currently working on an altered squares pattern I plan to give my sister as a wedding gift. I’m pretty pleased with how it is turning out.
The Log Cabin is still a favorite classic of mine!
Cute quilt! I like Dresden blocks.
I love anything that looks like stars.
I love these colors and patterns together! My fav go to quilt pattern is the cartwheels quilt! So easy to put together and simple yet stunning!

I love the Clamshells quilt and the True Colors! My all-time favorite pattern/block is shoo-fly. Thanks for the giveaway!
Your clam shell quilt is so pretty! My favorite classic pattern is the log cabin. I’ve seen it used to make a clam shell design too. Thanks.
Lindsay, I’m in love with everything about this quilt! The colors, the fabrics, the design, and the quilting are all beautiful. Don’t you want to make me a full-sized one? As far as favorite quilt design, at this moment I’m loving the clam shell!
I don’t really have a favorite pattern – I like whatever strikes my fancy at the time I’m ready to get started! I think I would like to give those clamshells a try now – I love your quilt. Thanks so much for the chance to win. 🙂

I LOVE this True Colors line!!! I adore bright colors and would love to win some!
My current favorite is a herringbone pattern although just a plain, simple patchwork square can be gorgeous with the right fabrics. =)

My favorite quilt blocks are both very traditional ones – Double Wedding Ring and Dresden Plate. (Which would look beautiful! made up in any of Heather Bailey’s fabrics, don’t you think)? She is amazingly talented.

My favorite traditional block is the log cabin. There is so much you can do with it and it is a great way to use up scraps.

Suprisingly I found I really like the traditional 9 patch. I did not think I would like all those little squares, but with some good shortcuts involved i had a great time making them
Your clamshell quilt is beautiful and it is the perfect pattern to show any fabric. The ones you used are so bright and cheery. Love them
Churn Dashes still make me giddy.

I love your clam shell quilt–the colors are gorgeous! I have a dresden plate in me, trying to get out–maybe using these fabrics would make it happen!

I really like the churn dash block. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m a lover of any scrap block style quilts. They remind me of a quilt that’s been around forever and I can just imagine how many precious loved ones were snuggled up in it.
A simple rail fence, when you turn them to make secondary patterns is so much fun and a great way to play w/colors and scraps.
The colors of your quilt have zing! I think my favorite quilt block is Mariner’s Compass. Thanks for offering all of us such a great group of fabrics.

I am drawn to star quilts and my favorite star, is a wonky one. So many possibilities. I haven’t tried a clamshell quilt – yet. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Whoever wins will be VERY lucky and happy.
My favorite quilt block will always be the Nine Patch. When I was ten years old in the 1962, I asked all my neighbors for fabric and my mom taught me to hand sew a Nine Patch Block. Mom helped me put all the blocks together and Dad built a quilt frame. The best part is the whole family helped quilt, including my 2 older brothers. Lots of sore fingers later, we had a finished quilt and the best part is that I still have it today. Good memories!!
I do love a Dresden block! Thank you for the link to those clam shell templates, and thanks for the opportunity to win this great bundle!
I love the Lone Star. I love making it in different colors.

I like the hourglass block or log cabin. Just starting on my quilting adventure but loving every minute!
Beautiful! My favorite block is still just a regular ole pinwheel. I can’t get enough of them!

I love it! I have actually been obsessed with clamshells lately so I will have to say that clamshells are my favorite traditional pattern right now. Maybe someone already mentioned it, but Latifah Saafir also has 4″ and 6″ templates. These are great for smaller projects. I have been experimenting with smaller ones before going all out, and think I’m ready for the big boys!

Love the clam shell quilt patterns!
My favorite is anything that can be made with an HST…and that is ALOT of blocks! I am always amazed to see the endless options of what HST’s can do! These prints would make beautiful HST’s!
I’m still pretty fond of the Log Cabin block.
Wonky log cabin, I have so much fun with it…….
I love the Dresden fan pattern. I am planning on making one this year.
Wonderful giveaway! I think my favorite design is “ocean waves”……i also love “new york beauty” quilts!
Beautiful quilt! With those soft colors, it almost looks like a stack of Easter Eggs, ready for hiding. 🙂 Those pops of the deeper shade of radiant orchid really make this for me!
