Thread: Storm at sea troubles

I went to my lqs for help with the storm at sea design phase. I bought 18 half metre cuts and arrayed them by tonal value. Following the advice of the lqs owner, I created a fairly mathematical progression for incorporating the fabrics. I am now finished three rows following the math and I am really worried. There are four more rows to go but it doesn't see to be flowing or undulating the way I wanted it to.

Do you have any advice? The fabrics are so beautiful and i really want this one to flow tonally across the top. I am happy to rip it out and I have lots of fabric, but maybe I'm just not seeing it so far and it will all come together?

the very first block, top left, is a mistake. But it's close to the right combination of fabrics according to the pattern recommended at the lqs.

Thanks!

Gorgeous. Makes me want to start this pattern. Put it up on a design wall and you will see it better.

It's gorgeous. I think you need more rows to see the undulations you are talking about.

I definitely agree with you Kathy. There is a definite wave in colors. I would say finish all the blocks then you will see it.

It looks beautiful. You may wish to print out a "coloring" page for your layout and take some colored pencils to it so you can see as you progress if the undulation is as dramatic as you are hoping for. About half way down the page is downloadable SAS coloring pages
