Call it HURRICANE

KarenR 03-03-2012 07:24 AM

I hope you share the pattern you made up. I like it - but I may need to quilt for a few more years before making something so complicated.

amyjo 03-03-2012 07:25 AM

I like your mistake. Has more movement than the other one. I bet your son would like the 1st one too.

great aunt jacqui 03-03-2012 08:14 AM

.by far the first one.

yippie 03-03-2012 08:18 AM

I like both. I agree the wrong one showes more movement I always like that. If the correct one is called "storm at sea" I would call the wrong one "Big storm at sea". HAHAHA

Like the first one better and to answer your question, I would call it a glitch in the brain. Laughing Wish it was that easy for me to design a new quilt. I usually take a design and change it to my liking. Both are nice designs.

yippie 03-03-2012 08:20 AM

Hurricane that is the word I was looking for, so happy you found it. hehehe

jaciqltznok 03-03-2012 08:20 AM

I would say that divine intervention has chosen for you...it is the "wrong" one that is the right one!

butterflies5518 03-03-2012 08:37 AM

Wow, what a challenge either way, I like them both.

Tweety2911 03-03-2012 08:39 AM

I call it beautiful!

sewnuts321 03-03-2012 08:47 AM

turbulants at sea!

CoyoteQuilts 03-03-2012 08:51 AM

I agree with everybody else, I like the first one better!
Turbulent Ocean
and Moving Waters are great names!

OzarksGma 03-03-2012 09:18 AM

I would call it "Stormier At Sea", appears to be moving like waves.

Cabinkate 03-03-2012 10:44 AM

I also li
ked the "wrong"one best.

GrannieAnnie 03-03-2012 10:59 AM

Why is one wrong and one right?

Both are long established variations of Storm At Sea.

unclefreckles 03-03-2012 11:24 AM

Boy, for a mistake,you have hit the jackpot!! The way you designed it is much more interesting.

rita222 03-03-2012 12:25 PM

From little mistakes come great things, call it Waves in the Storm

ann clare 03-03-2012 12:30 PM

I would call it DESIGN.

sahm4605 03-03-2012 12:37 PM

i call it a hurricane. hehe. but i like the first one best.

3TreeFrog 03-03-2012 12:37 PM

Hi

The "wrong" way looks likes waves to me. While they are both nice to look at, the "wrong" way is the way that I would make the quilt, however that's me, I dare to be different!

Love your "mistake"! How about Birds in the Storm? or Rough Seas?

Whoopie 03-03-2012 02:15 PM

I'd call it pretty either way.

jeanneb52 03-03-2012 02:50 PM

I'd call it exciting!

QuiltswithConvicts 03-03-2012 03:32 PM

One of my recent magazines - American Quilter, I think, has your "Mistake as the pattern & is calling it Storm at Sea. They have it arranged in a rainbow effect. It is fabulous.

I call mistakes like that DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES!!!

Grace MooreLinker 03-03-2012 04:06 PM

I think I like the wrong one , but it sure does make waves. I have made the right on ,really liked it.

sharin'Sharon 03-03-2012 07:16 PM

I would call it "In Motion". And I agree with some of the others, I LIKE the first one better also.

ncredbird 03-03-2012 07:53 PM

Thanks everyone for all the great comments! I hadn't realized that this particular arrangement of blocks has been published. It was just one of those late night "oops" moments for me. I too, like it better than the more traditional presentation, but was working on drawing up the original as my son had seen it years ago and then the variation with the different colors. He had told me that he wanted something to remind him of our scuba diving trip to Cayman Island when he was a teenager. The yellow I added was to be the sunshine on the water and hopefully a sign of better things to come after the storm, as he is recovering from a nasty divorce.
How funny, I just got an email from him saying he thinks he likes the "mistake" the best! He will make the final decision tomorrow and then I can get to work. I appreciate all the input. Ann in TN

bjdemir 03-03-2012 08:02 PM

I like the "wrong" one also. They are both great. The the "wrong " one is unique. Rename it and you have a new quilt pattern. I certainly would keep it.

BETTY62 03-03-2012 08:06 PM

I would call it awesome. It's a beautiful pattern.

Nickky 03-03-2012 08:07 PM

Love the first one. It has so much movement. Looks like a real Storm at sea.

Shirlrh 03-03-2012 09:56 PM

Wow! Love the wrong one!

nurse bonnie 03-03-2012 10:48 PM

I like the mistake, too!! It does have a whole lot more movement.

mountain deb 03-03-2012 11:12 PM

Sometimes our brain is telling us to explore and when we are tired enough it does. Great design.

AKDaffyodil 03-03-2012 11:17 PM

I think you should call it "Eye of the Storm".

SherryCat 03-04-2012 02:48 AM

I love the "mistake", so much motion!

Dawn227 03-04-2012 03:54 AM

I agree with Woody I like the first one better. Reminded me of peanuts in the shell at first glance.

Crashing Waves. It reminds me of a rough day on the beach.

ktmo815 03-04-2012 03:59 AM

Love the "wrong" one
