yes that happened to me also when making a template copy i could send to others. u can change the settings on the printer and also not use a border when u r printing out. It is easy if you know what the sizes of the sides are supposed to be. sometimes when I have a problem like that i will go to sleep with it on my mind and lol at 3am awaken with the solution. Then I just have to get up and do it right then lol . Us quilters do become obsessed sometimes :):):)

Ok. well took a tiny break. went on short road trip. but back at machine hard at it Also went to the gym Monday and worked out with a trainer lol. Had to crawl out of bed the last 2 mornings, but will go back tomorrow. Ok Here are the latest pics of the latest unit. This one is made up of one square and 4 HST. When I am doing these i always try to make sure i have them center to center. The square I fold wrong side to wrong side and crease it with my nail, and the HST i fold right side to right side and crease it in middle . then your crease in your HST will fit right over the crease in you square and u know u have the center. I place a pin there and one on each side of center. This was an easy unit to make. I had to do 24 of these So far we have a total of 104 units with 416 pieces. Here are the pics. also a pic of all 3 sets of units.

Hope you enjoyed your trip and are moving a little easier today. Glad you're back to posting-love to follow your progress!!

please show us as soon as you get a block going. that's been on my bucket list for at least 30 yrs. maybe someday......

Well spent some time this morning cleaning lol came up for air. and all the dog ears are gone now. Cleaned sewing table so back to it i go. Have 3 more sets of units to put together and then guys we will start putting the top together. It is always exciting to me to see the pattern come to life. Well enough chatting. back to my sewing machine i go :):):)

thanks for the update :D

Is your pattern in a book? I've seen instructions on line, but I need sizes and number clearly written out, so I can follow them, and I don't know which book or pattern instructions are best. Any recommendations?

Congrats on working out! Proud of you. It's so hard at first when you're so sore. Your diamonds look great!

Ninnie -

It's been a month! I've been waiting (kinda) patiently for the next set of pictures!

I also am waiting. Hope all is ok at your end. Look forward to the next installment. BrendaK

Storm At Sea. Back On Track
 

Sometimes life gets in our way, and we have to do other things. lol. A friend wanted a huge dog bed made with Atlanta Falcons material for her dog, To have for football season Bless her . she knows nothing about sewing, and she brought me some cotton material with Atlanta Falcons symbols on it.Well i felt of it once, and knew her poodle, Samson, was not going to like it. So i went and purchased some fleece, knowing with winter coming on, and the softness of it, Samson would love it. Then a friends daughter is having a birthday in a couple of weeks. She will be 8, what a great age, and she collects bears. She was wanting a small quilt to use with them :):):). Done! And then machine decided to act up, lol. The bobbin stopped working , and after having spent hrs on it. I was dressed and ready to head out the door, was gonna go buy me a new one, when my son decided he would take a look. He tore it down. got his blower he cleans computers out with, and gave it a great cleaning. LOL looked like a dust storm in here from the blowing. oiled it also. and then returned it back to working order. Then he threaded it and wow, lol it was right back working great. Now here are the 2 next units. The last of the diamond units, with dark diamonds and white triangles.This is unit 4, and it takes one D6, two T25, and two T25r. We had to make 60 of these. the second unit is unit 5 and is made up of one S4 and four T9, and is one of the easiest units to make We made36 of these. Here are some pics of each, and also one of all out units that we have done so far. We only have one more unit to make. and then we get to start assembling it, which is the fun part, when the pattern starts showing up and u can begin to see the waves. And as always if u have any questions please feel free to ask As always thanks for tunning in to the crazy world of Ninnie's Quilting :):):)

Well i have had my book for years, it is Marsha McCloskey's QUICK CLASSIC QUILTS. She has several books, and this one was printed back in 1996. So I went on line and started looking and girl. well i found a copy for sale at last lol Here is the link http://www.kijiji.ca/v-hobbies-craft...ilts/465567482 I love this book a lot. And it says it is only 5 dollars and I do hope it is still available. Please let me know if u get it.

I much prefer SAS in the classic "sea" colors, dark blue, light blue and white. But your collection is very attractive.

If all esle fails, order thru WalMart on line.

you can order them from Amazon 5th row down

well to each his own, but i like the old fashioned original look for this quilt. It was first designed as a scrap quilt.

Ninnie -

Glad all is well with you and you are enjoying life - planned and unplanned. Your new pics are great, and it's fun watching your progress. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Darren

thanks, lol will be working on it tommorow

Ninnie you rocks! Love this thread and i can't wait to see the top. Like the tip to crease the pieces to match. Thank you!

Same as blahel. I will be following post. I want to do one too and the ones I have seen, seem to all have a color scheme so to speak. I have more stash than a small quilt store and want to do a scrappy one. Guess I should buy the pattern and practice with it.

Cannot wait to see your progress..
Kirsten

Well if u have ever seen the ocean when it is storming, or a storm is moving in it is anything but blue :):):) And I love the fact that this was designed as a scrap quilt. Have been working girls. and we only need 20 more units and then we get to put this baby together lol Will work on it today

Yeah, cannot wait.

Ninnie---You are doing a "fab" job. Hope you are not feeling pressured with all of us looking over your shoulder!

Next on my to do list is to start a quilt for my oldest son...and this is the pattern I was thinking to make

which pattern are you using...what is the finished size of the quilt? I want to make at least a queen....I have one in one of my magazines but I am dreading the search...I love your colour choices....

Oops sorry I thought I had read all the posts but I missed a page...I see which pattern you are using...

The one I am making is a queen size. And this pattern is a bit dif because of the fact that it uses 2 dif blocks, and makes a border around the outside of it. This was the first quilt i ever made lol. I sure started out right :):):)

Storm At Sea, final Unit :)
 

ok so this is the last unit we have to make. Tomorrow we will start making the blocks :):) I am so ready. Then we will start seeing the pattern showing up. Here r the latest pictures.

Hi, do you have a finished quilt photo? I know it's been a while, but I would love to see it!

Me too! I just reread the entire thread, and I'm hanging by my fingernails in anticipation! Gotta see the finish...Please....

Beautiful group of fabrics and I am anxious to see your progress and the finished project. Please share pics with us from time to time. Lucky son

That is a good start. I look forward to seeing your progress on the quilt.:thumbup:
