For this sample I used analogous colours - colours which are next to each other on the colour wheel. This parrot that I found was ideal.
The shape of the parrot's feathers look very much like the clamshell pattern.
The clamshell sample is not as big as it was going to be - it wasn't just that I ran out of time but I did find it rather tedious. The yellow and pale green fabrics are my own hand dyed fabrics.
The sample was made using rectangles with a curved top. The rectangles were machined pieced partially up the sides and then the tops were tacked onto a curved paper piece. Each row was then appliqued on to the row above. The whole thing was started with a row of rectangles.
