Maui storm at sea progress
 

I picked up these batiks while we were on Maui last fall...had this quilt in my head after seeing something like it on the internet. I used a printable coloring sheet for the storm at sea blocks, and used Deb Tucker’s ruler to make the diamonds. I pieced the square in squares the traditional way. I have green batiks to applique Honu turtles on the “sand”. The rows still need sewn together, but I am excited to have it this far before spring arrives and the flowerbeds will consume my days! :)

great design/color placement!

Gorgeous! SAS might just have to move up on my bucket list!

Beautiful, JillMc. The design evokes the sea lapping onto the beach. Great memento from your time in Maui.;)

Beautiful, that's great color placement for a storm at sea. Or should I say, Storm at shore. Please show it again when you place the turtles. Good job.

Looking good.....love the colour grade.

It's gorgeous!!

Wow! Just beautiful!

Oh, that's beautiful! And thank you for the memories of Maui... my home for 12 years.

Beautiful fabrics. What a wonderful reminder of your trip.

Your top is gorgeous and will be stunning when quilted. Can’t wait to see!

Very nice. As you can see, I love SAS. Can’t wait to see the finished quilt with the turtles on it. You did a great job on it!

Absolutely stunning!

That's a beautiful storm at sea quilt. Love your coloring.

Your work is terrific!

Wow, wow, wow, it is awesome. I love the colors and gradation!!

SAS is my favorite pattern and your color wash design is an awesome interpretation of it. Can't wait to see it finished. I am also a big fan of Deb Tucker's tools. I wouldn't attempt that diamond rec without her tool.

Quite impressive with the look of a sandy beach and an open sea. Love it!

Lovely.
My favorite pattern of all time, besides Allitaire.

Beautiful. Can’t wait to see the addition of the turtles!

It really stands out as the sea and the beach, amazing. I love the SAS and hope to do one someday. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing with us.

That is a great use of color!

Awesome. Love it. BrendaK

It’s going to be fabulous...I, too, like how you arranged the colors in your SAS.

Awesome!! Love your Storm at Sea. Great color arrangement. I'm planning a baby quilt with this pattern. Thought I would start small.

Gorgeous arrangement! Can't wait to see your Honu applique and your finished SAS - a real show stopper already. Thanks for sharing and inspiring :)

Just bought the ruler. Thanks for the tip. What size are your blocks?

Looks like a winner to me!

My diamond blocks are 3x6”. I watched her video on YouTube, and once I got my fabrics cut and organized, this was fun to do! Already planning my next SAS! :)

Very nice. Your colors/placement puts a whole new spin to Storm at Sea pattern.

It is beautiful! I remember when you posted your concept of it and you certainly brought that concept to fruition and then some! Well done.

That is so cool! And I love your turtle idea. It will be such a beautiful reminder of beautiful Maui.

Love your color arrangement. SAS is one of my favorite patterns.

Just gorgeous! You clearly put a lot of thought into this and the results are great.

Your color placemen certainly provides a beautiful approach to the traditional Storm at Sea quilt top. I think you use of batiks is also a great addition tothis pattern. It is really stunning and I wll be anxious to see it in its next faze.

Love your SAS quilt! Can't wait to see it with the turtles on it! Beautiful color gradations!

How pretty! I love the colors.

So refreshing, like a dip in the ocean

Your quilt is beautiful. I hope you post a picture after you add your turtles. I fell in love with honu when my daughter took me to Hawaii last year.
