Several years ago a fellow quilter and myself made a Storm at Sea Quilt to be raffled at our annual Holiday Fair. We split up the block, each doing one portion. While it did come together well, I learned the valuable lesson that 1/4" on one machine might not be the same 1/4 " on another. If I were to reproduce this quilt today, I would be tempted to PP it for maximum accuracy and ease of putting the top together.

After I had taken an introductory class on starting a quilt, my first one was Storm At Sea (for one of our son's who lived near the ocean). It was paper-pieced which I liked because of the precision of the pattern. I took me seven months because I was working at the time. After dinner I would quilt until bedtime. It turned out very nicely. I had someone else quilt it on a longarm machine.

Okay guys,
here re is an update to where I am at..... tomorrow I will be completely paper piecing a block and I will also create a block using the sizzix triangle in a square die (to make the diamond in a rectangle block and I will report back to how I found both. Hugs Caroline |

I made my storm at sea with the Tri-Recs ruler set. Worked great for me, although perhaps not quite as perfect points as paper piecing would make. Faster though :)

I made this one and the pieces with the long pieces that tip mirrors the other blcoks I finally did make them from PPing to achieve a better accuracy. The quilt is now pieced but still needs the borders sewn on.
