storm at sea block in green and cream - 6.5 inches unfinished size (approximately)
 

I made this block from scraps from another project - a long time ago.

It is NOT paper-pieced.

If one looks carefully at the back, one can see that some seams have been sewn more than once.

It's almost the expected size - I think it will become a pot holder someday.

nice block. love your center. you are brave to show us all the back :)

I find the backs to be informative - one way or another!!! :rolleyes:

I might be able to do it better now - I sure have learned things since I made it - but I'm still proud of that block!

great work and soothing colors...

So pretty and looks dainty. I would put a wide binding and use it on a small table. Guess Iv'e been on Pinterest too much. lol

misspriss has a good idea! and I too love to look at the back. It is very pretty, great job.

I like it. You have plenty of seam allowance so that when you bind/sash it, the block will square up nicely. As far as the back, I tell my students, you cover that up. No one knows but you how that looks!

You should be proud! I have never made a SAS, let alone a 6 1/2" one! That is a hard enough block at 12! SAS is definitely on my bucket list, in fact I have pattern printed and fabrics set aside. I plan on doing one that someone posted a while back that alternates snails trail blocks. It was a very cool result.

Sure is pretty!! Finish it and leave it on your dining table as a coaster or just something pretty. I do that with my lost blocks :)

Yes a very pretty block and l like how you made the storm at sea block ... not look stormy

Very impressive! It looks great - your points are excellent. I really like the way you did the square in a square with one dark green triangle. I've always done all four corners the same. I like this variation a lot.

Really pretty!!!

Quit picking on that block! It looks really good to me, and should find some friends and get into a quilt.

I think it would be pretty with a border and then framed in a photo frame then hung on the wall! Sure is a pretty little thing. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE this block. Its been on my list since I first started quilting..as soon as I catch up I'm making one for myself. =)

Very nice!

agreed...the back is a good way to see what went wrong...what to do differently.

i would be proud of it to. i did the same thing with some left over blocks. then thought it so pretty...put it in a frame to use as my "warm up piece" when i hand quilt. work out the stiffness from arthritis. it is turning out so pretty, but in my excitement ( had a brainstorm for quilt motif/thread color idea) forgot to put a border on it.

moral of the story ...lollollol...make a pillow out of it but don't forget the border!

Beautiful!! too gorgeous to use lol!!!

Looks great! :)

You have every reason to be proud of that block.
