Today I quilted the Dandy Blocks top with free-motion clamshells. My mind drifted and so did some of the clamshells! You might say they drifted with the tide, if you look closely (no - I don't recommend looking closely). A member of one group I'm in told about a quilt she made that had a traditional top and a modern backing (both in kids' fabrics) that made it sparkle. Well, I borrowed the idea and did the same with this Dandy quilt. The top has the 30s reproduction fabrics and a classic block design, while the back has very modern butterflies ... I think a little girl will like both sides. I'll get it bound tomorrow morning. Here's a picture of the detail with the backing showing:
