Actually the name of this quilt design says it all! This design is an inspiration for any quilter to personalize for anyone or any occasion. I see this as an opportunity to use favorite fabrics as a single clam or parts of it appliqued. Also to rescue embroidered linens that are stained or damaged or to add my own embroidered designs. There are lots of traditional crewel designs that have clam shaped half circle as the base of a Tree of Life or other imaginative fantastical floral designs. These half circles are filled with embroidered fill stitches or motifs that add to the themes of the design. I have found that second hand charity stores usually have used embroidered linens. Indeed one memorable store had a room with stacks of used linens perfect for this. I find that a search on Pinterest of clam quilts results in an amazing variety of this kind of quilt.
This patterns has good illustrations and instructions. Pattern is printed on folded large format paper, with larger easy to read instructions and lots of detailed photos of the quilt.
