Hi, I love your quilt! I have been looking for a paper pieced pattern for this design, do you remember which pattern you used? Do you know where I can find the pattern for paper piecing it?

Definitely paper piece!

Hi Marion, Do you know where I can find a PP version of a storm at sea quilt? I want to make a version using just two colors. Thank you.

Hi Peckish (Peggi), I have googled this for 3 days... and I've found one that is a 7 inch version but it isn't quite the right one. I think I would like a larger block, maybe 12 "? There is a free site that has several versions too, but I'm not sure if it is what I am looking for either. It is at a site called quilterscache. They have several versions with many pieces. I'm looking for a simple version and just using two colors. I don't mind buying one if I can find one. Thanks!

I bought the pattern and Deb Tucker's rulers for it from Hancock's. I added some yummy fabrics to get free shipping.
The prices were better than other places I looked. |

I paper pieced my SAS and am glad I did so. I wanted it all points and seams to be perfect and they were! I use blank newsprint paper which rips off easily. If I made another, I would PP again.

I used Marti Michell's templates to piece my SAS. I hate paper piecing! It worked fine and is about 60" x 60". Used all scraps and enjoyed the process.

Your SAS was a major success. How perfect to use blues. Great job.
|
Mctotch- that's gorgeous!

enlarge via your copier to 12" (or any size you want). Likewise when you want to downsize a PP block. Just be sure that you adjust the seam allowances down/up to the 1/4" width required. Good Luck! |
There is also a method of paper piecing that has you fold the paper back out of the way and then stitch right beside it. That way you don't stitch through the paper or tear it away. I'm sorry I don't know a name or better way to refer you to it. I have not done it enough to be able to explain it, but it might be worth checking out.

I would use the Freezer Paper PP'ing method or buy desolvable paper made for PP'ing

I did SAS using a freezer paper-piecing method where you don't sew on the paper but closely along the folded edges. It worked wonderfully and you can use the same pattern several times before needing to replace. No need to pick out paper! This site gives wonderful instructions: http://www.twiddletails.com/images/FPFtute/FPFTute.pdf
This is a very good method, and you don't even need to use freezer paper. Ordinary good quality copy paper works well. But you do need to attach the fabric a little to the paper. One smear of glue stick does the job. It pulls off easily when you are finished with the block ready for the next one. My friend made 20 blocks with the same piece of paper. You need to crease all the lines all the way to the edges before you start. I have "add-a quarter" and "add-an-eighth" rulers. They work well for cleaning up the seam allowances. Not all shops carry them but there was one at the Madison Quilt Expo. |
leaa and others here is a link to 12 inch block for SAS also PP http://www.quilterscache.com/S/StormAtSeaBlock.html
This would also work for the folded paper form. |
