Storm at Sea
 

Hi Guys,

Has anybody made a quilt using this pattern.... How did you do it?

I have started doing a paper pieced pattern to see if this is a good way, only done one part of the block (time constraints today)... But I thout I would ask if anybody out there has any better ideas.

I am thinking of buying the accuquilt triangle in a square die, but that only makes part of the block!!!!

Any ideas????

I've made this twice and paper pieced both times. I found the bias edges of the triangles didn't distort and matching all the points was easier. If I do another one (love this pattern) I'd definitely pp it.

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.

Go for it!
 

My first official quilt was a storm at sea just done from patches. This was before someone told me it was supposed to be an advanced quilt.
I thought it was fun and interesting to put together. Also used larger blocks 18" I think.
Was a wedding quilt for my son & his wife.

This is beautiful. Wanting to do one for my son in red and black.

Beautiful. Love the SAS in the traditional blues & whites.

I am getting ready to do one too...debating which way to go...pp maybe...been looking at patterns...want to do this pattern for my son...maybe in batiks..

I am in the process of doing one now. It has been very challenging. I am not pp. If I ever do another I will definitely try the pp method.

Here's my SAS variation .... I pieced it in the fall, and finished quilting it during the holidays.

Thanks guys.... Especially Gmasandee ...... I paper pieced the little square in square and that came out well, but it is the waste of fabric I am concerned about with the diamond block.... Any tips regarding cutting etc appreciated.
