i am making a new storm at sea quilt, decided to stick this somewhere in it...excited about this one :thumbup:

That's fabric??? I thought it was glass when I first looked at it. Very pretty.

Awesome block. Would love to see the finish quilt. :thumbup:

UNBELIEVABLE! Looks like glass to me too

Wow, I love it. It is unbelievable how much it looks like stained glass. Your idea of adding it into the Storm at Sea is wonderful. Be sure to post a picture of the finished product

WOW!! I cannot wait to see it in the quilt it will be amazing!

That is very beautiful. I have attempted stained glass quilting but need lots of practice. Any tips?

My husband has a "thing" for sail boats, so I am always attracted to them. You did an awesome job on it!!

Fantastic!

That's awesome and can't wait to see it finished

did you have any specific problems? i find stained glass to be one of the most forgiving techniques...so easy to cover oopsies. i guess the only tip i can offer is...cut your applique pieces generously, so you have a little overlap (the bias tape will cover the areas when you apply your (leading). like with all applique start from the lower layer and work your way up, fuse all pieces in place then add your leading and zig-zag the leading in place, which holds all of your applique pieces securily

That's beautiful! The movement in it is so realistic, I could almost feel like I'm at sea. The idea to include in a Storm at Sea is fantastic, look forward to seeing that!

Beautiful it really looks like glass

thought i would show a bit of the storm at sea design...only the blue part is part of the quilt design, the tan's in the upper corner are not part of the design...the square in the blue colored area is where the sailboat is 'supposed' to go....only time shall tell how it looks in the end :thumbup:

what a beautiful block! Someday, maybe!!!!

Wow that is wonderful

Beautiful! Will you paper piece it?

no i am not paper piecing the storm at sea blocks, i am using the "fast2cut quilters' trimplates / rulers-templates and piecing each block...some by hand at work others by machine at home. got the idea from the book-"a new light on Storm at Sea Quilts by Wendy Mathson" the book comes with blank design sheets you can print off to color and play with design.

Thanks for the book info. I have aUFO storm at sea in bright batiks that I got fed up with. I like PP but got tired of doing the same block over and over. I'll check this method out. :-D

Wow....I love it!! Great job. I used to do actual stained glass projects with glass many years ago but still love the looks of it. I will have to try my hand at the fabric type.

Gorgeous!!!

storm at sea's are really beginner friendly...very easy components, they just look complicated when they are all together. anyone at any skill level could complete one. the piecing is very basic, no inset seams, 3 blocks make up one storm block, a 3" block a 3" x 6" block and a 6" block...thats it.
the book is a good one, and the template/ruler set is great! i am so glad i went ahead and purchased them. the book does have templates in it though if you don't want to buy the ruler set

Absolutely stunning!

I've done real stained glass, and you could have fooled me on this one, very realistic !

Fabulous looking block. You did a wonderful job with this, Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

Fabulous sail boat!

Wow!
That's amazing :mrgreen:

That is cool....:)

awesome

Thankyou for mentioning that. I am a begginer and thought my Dad would love something like that Block, however not sure If I could tackle that. He and his wife have decorated their house in a sea\ocean colors. Then again after attempting just a simple patch and not liking the out come of that let my son choice a block (gentleman's fancy). Beautiful work by the way.

Wow that is beautiful, will be waiting to see this as it progresses!

Lovely!

Ooooo I LOVE that sailboat :D:D:D

the pattern for the sailboat came from 'Ravenwood Designs' they are in Alberta Canada, and offer LOTS of beautiful stained glass patterns.
