[I am 61 years old and don't think there is enough time left in my lifetime to make a quilt with 2021 pieces but it is a beautiful quilt. Especially since my son wants a king size quilt. I am getting the idea of what everyone is talking about. I have collected a number of different blues but think maybe some batik might be in order also. May have to make a trip into the closest town with a good sized LQS. I do have EQ7 so should be able to play with it some to see what I can come up with. The sites mentioned above had some real beauties. Thanks, Ann in TN[/quote]

If he doesn't have his heart set on a Storm at Sea, Eleanore Burns has a strip peice quilt that is based on a Monet painting and it goes from one shade of blue to the other and rather resembles water movement. Thinking it wouldn't take so long to make a king size quilt! She has water lilies on her's but you wouldn't have to do that. In fact I think it looks better without them, but that's just me. Good luck on your endeavor!
