After getting through all 19 pages of this post, I figure it is my turn. My Storm at Sea was inspired by one I saw in a Miniature Quilts Magazine long, long ago. I changed the pattern to make it "mine." It is paper pieced and hand quilted, 27" square. I just loved using the swirls in the border fabric as the quilting design. No marking! The circles in the center came from bowls in my kitchen cabinets.

Circles are fun!

I'll tease you too, Penny. I read your reply and then had to go back and read my post wondering if I had missed telling you what I did! Enjoy your holidays!

For somebody who didn't know what you were doing, you did an awesome job!
