flybreit: I literally loved this when I saw it posted by "Delta" so I printed out her post and set out to count the small blocks, larger blocks, the rectangle blocks, etc. Then I figured out how may "red" to do, and how to do the heart like hers. She told me to download the templates for "storm at sea" and go from there. I used my printer to make enough templates to paper piece all the blocks and put it on a design board to keep track of where I was on the project. I watched a video on ytube about paper piecing so I understood that part. My biggest problem was cutting pieces big enough to work with the paper piecing. It was certainly "learn by doing process" I always go by patterns, so this was out of my comfort zone. But I REALLY wanted to do it.
