I'm quilting this cat quilt for a customer. She wanted clamshells. I told her I'd have to practice them, because they have to be a certain size to fit in the cats properly. I have pattern boards but they weren't the right size. So with marking I am doing them freehand.A closer look. I was actually surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

This is a sweater I am finishing up for Danielle, this little girl. I took a size 18 month pattern and upped it to a size 6. I've never done that before, but with her measurements and using other patterns for ideas, it did work. I might need to make the neck a little larger but that won't be too hard. We'll see what her mom thinks.
