? re: Storm at Sea
 

I have been a long time admirer of the Storm at Sea pattern, and recently discovered I have a pattern for it in 2006 Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine. If I made it, I would like to make it larger than pattern. Have any of you quilters that have made this quilt made it larger than stated and is there a pattern elsewhere or how did you do it? Thanks for any info.

SAS is on my bucket list. I will paper piece it. Here is a good site that has been linked here on the QB several times. Has diagrams of layouts and free download for the PP pattern.

I made mine queen sized. Just made more blocks, added more rows, and extra blocks to bottom to lengthen. The quilt is created with blocks so easy to make any size you want.

I made one but haven't felt like putting on the border. It was not an easy pattern to make with those odd angles. It took years to finally finish the piecing.

I made one, a mini LOL ... paper piecing is the way to do it!

nice quilts ladies.

That's always been on my bucket list too. If you look some Storm at sea patterns double the sashing like strips and some don't. Just a different look, I would definitely paper piece also and add more rows and columns to make the size I want.

Because sas is squares with sashing....just make each until you get the size you want.

Mine is waiting to be quilted--queen size. I used 9" blocks (square within a square bordered on 2 sides with the diamond "sashings" and a sq w/in sq corner stone--my best suggestion to you--paper piece it! I didn't and ended up taking it apart 2 times before I got the blocks right.

I have used the Creative Grids ruler and made this quilt - this ruler makes a 16 inch block. It works great.

Mine-still working on- is done with templates from Joe Flynn.......working well.....I can't imagine pp this....too simple to just piece...

Quilters Cache has the pattern either to piece or paper piece.

Thanks for all the great info. I think p/ping is the way to go. Beautiful quilts all. Misty's Mom; you said you used your Accuquilt Go, can you tell me the name of the die you used? I have looked and can't find it. I have the Baby Go; would that be big enough? Thanks again.

check with accuquilt. I'm sure there is a free pattern for it somewhere on their website and also what dies are needed

Try this link https://www.accuquilt.com/shop/go-st...t-pattern.html

they have 3 different patterns. This is one I used.

Eleanor Burns has a great pattern using rulers. I've made a couple of quilts and a table runner without any problems. The rulers and templates she uses make each piece fit together without paperpiecing

[ATTACH=CONFIG]552442[/ATTACH]SAS (on the left) was one of the first quilts I made. I must have been naive. I didn't know it was supposed to be difficult so it wasn't. This was made before rotary cutters and techniques. Made with templates, hand pieced and hand quilted.

Thank you SO much for sharing this!!!

I've downloaded the pattern from Quilters' Cache. great place for so many patterns.

Beautiful display, grammasue!

Grammasue, I love your display of quilts. I have some quilts folded in a chest, but doesn't look neat as yours. Love your SAS.

I'm looking for a paper pieced pattern for a mini Storm at Sea. Any suggestions?

John Flynn sells laser cut kits that are very nice.

I haven't made it, but really like it. I was going to use the pattern from Quilter's Cache.

Here's a gorgeous one.

That is a gorgeous one! There are so many variations to this pattern. I have a pattern from the October 2014 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine called Sea Swept and it is a Paper Pieced pattern. Looking at the details I see it is a lot of tiny pieces to PP and for a lap sized quilt, which would equal a bazillion pieces for a bed sized quilt! :shock: I have a kit of batik fabrics for another quilt that I bought solely for the fabric, not the kit pattern and wonder how it would look in this as I never thought of it. However, if I'm going to put that much work into it, I think I better be sure I'm going to like it and just buy fabric for it specifically to get the outcome I want.

Creative grids has a wonderful ruler that makes a 16 inch block ...ruler is used to cut all the pieces and the block goes together nicely. Great ruler.

SAS was the 2nd quilt I made. Since it was my 2nd, I didn't know it was supposed to be hard. I used templates from Quilting In The Heartland turned the quilt on point and figured the goofy corners as well as I could. It is a wall hanging in my guest room. I just made it the size that I liked the look of.
