Kaffe Fassett Quilt Inspiration: Clamshell Surprise

Kaffe Fassett has inspired people across the world with his creative, colorful fabrics and designs. Here is Lou Ellen Hassold's brilliant creation. She combined Kaffe's colorful prints in a spiky clamshell design by Quiltworx. This quilt almost seems to glow as if lit from behind!

Clamshell Surprise by Lou Ellen Hassold, quilted by Valerie Wagner

Winner of the Art Prize at this show*, Lou Ellen writes, "I wanted a vivid, interesting look for my version of Judy Niemeyer's  'Clamshells'.  The quilt was made from a variety of Kaffe Fassett scraps, paired with Moda Grunge fabrics. I was pleasantly surprised by the results as the quilt was even brighter than I imagined. It almost seemed to glow as if lit from behind. Valerie Wagner's quilting design adds a lovely texture."

What really sets off these color-saturated fabrics is Lou Ellen's choice of black background fabric. It provides a striking visual effect which separates each clamshell motif and highlights the intense hues.
