We have a boat that we spend every weekend on all summer, so when I needed a quilt for it, of course I made a Storm at Sea. I will have to see if I can find a picture of it.
I ended up paper piecing it, and I made the blocks a little bigger. It turned out really good. I do have EQ and I just put in what size block I wanted and could print out the paper needed to make it. Go for it, it is really pretty when it's done. |
Somewhere in my stash I have a laser cut kit from John Flynn. Hope to finish it one of these days *Ü*

I took that class at my lqs earlier in 2011. There was alot of information to make the fabric pieces line up, and special rulers. I would say to make a sample block first, to see if you like the process. I would have to be on tranquilizers to do an entire quilt. One day maybe, I will try again. but it is labor intensive for me. I have the templates and the book, and the batik in sea green, turquoise, white and yellow all ready, about 50% cut out too. I don't think this is a ufo, only got one block done in class. (dyslexia makes storm at sea tough for me.)

NOW I find out you can do Storm at Sea as paper-pieced! At the Houston quilt show in November I bought a laser cut kit from John Flynn's booth for a blue batik SAS, thinking that at least I didn't have to do the cutting! I'm going to tackle it anyway, but thanks for the link to the paper pieced patterns...they are beautiful.

It's one I have planned on making but I'm going to paper-piece mine.

On my "to do" list because I love the pattern. Why not go to the Pictures section, click on Storm at Sea and look at all the beautiful creations that people here have made? You'll get some wonderful ideas for color selection and or layouts

The only one I made is about 12" square & is a memory quilt I did from my Dad's ties.

Won't talk you out of it. Made mine as a mini years ago, by hand. Would use PP to do ut by machine, those long
|
With all of the Technic s out there to make half and quarter square triangles without bias sewing this won't really be that hard. Go for it.

Here's mine

I made it for my oldest son. I paper pieced it so it wasn't difficult. I was really pleased with the finished product and so was he!
Go for it - you'll be glad you did. |
