How I am making my Storm at Sea blocks.............
 

A couple of ladies have asked. I based what I am doing on a couple of web sites I visited, then drafted the main block onto paper; traced off the 3 sub blocks, added 1/4" seam allowance, then traced onto very lightweight interfacing and foundation pieced. I don't purchase any of the specialist rulers, I just try and work things out myself. (sometimes successfully LOL)

Looking good!!

Great work!

Thanks for the info. I started a storm at sea cuting some of the fabric with the sky erupting, moving into light sort of calm water then deeper and deeper into darker turbulent sea water but lost all my templets and have been stuck since then on finding a pattern that fits with the one I started. Your idea of tracing sounds good to me. Maybe I will take one of the few blocks I made apart, iron them then trace them on paper then interfacing then hopefully being able to finish the quilt. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Great job!

Sounds like doing it your own way will be more helpful than using a pattern by someone else. I think it will be easier your way if you decide to make another.

glad you got it worked out

great way to draft-keep us posted
