Focus on Design: Storm at Sea Quilts
Mauvice, your S@S is lovely! This topic is very timely as I just
picked out S@S as something I'd like to try. I saw a gorgeous one in one of Joen Wolfram's books (that I checked out due to recomendations from rctq). Neat-o! I'd also like to hear advice on how to do the colorways to emphasize the curves. Sonya " mauvicem" wrote in message .. . http://photos.yahoo.com/mauvicem Hi Pat here is a link for the S@S I made as wedding present for DS and DDIL...I used paper piecing for the long diamond shapes until I got the hang of the angle needed.....I love this quilt ...they use it as an art piece on the wall, I love my DDIL she realizes the point of conservation, brought it back to me to have it laundered!!! When they moved she carried it with her so as not to lose it....I made this simultaneously with another quilt, plaid quilt called Circle Star, YUCK, I am not a plaid girl ....couldn't make the border fit!!!! stretchy plaids,,,,ended up giving all the plaids to a quilting friend....I am still finding pieces of plaid in my scraps...THEY"RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!....Beieve it or not it was a relief to work on the SaS and not on the plaid quilt from Hades!! -- Mauvice in Central WI |

Since Im the one who wanted to know how to create the curvy, seasick effect
perhaps its my turn to step up and tell why. A young friend has asked for a black, grey, and deep red quilt. I thought a storm at sea would be a great way to use those colors. I have tried several different ways of putting those colors into a blank S at S and they look great, but not terribly like the quilt I was hoping. I need to rethink the placement, the value or the whole quilt. I would post my sample so you could see where this whole thing is going but its on my dead computer. :-( Maybe the problem for me is that S at S only looks right in shades of blues and white ...sometimes greens, water colors.

Diana
I made a Storm At Sea quilt from a Better Homes & Gardens pattern in light and dark green with a red heart in one corner. The heart was created by using red instead of green for some of the pieces. You could do this with the black, grey, and red. I did a search for the pattern--but came up with nothing. I can scan the picture and send it to you if you like.

The July-August Quilter's Newletter Magazine has a gorgeous Storm at Sea done in
black, grays and yellow-orange-reds that is called Heat Wave. It is great and you might take a look at it for an idea of how to use the black/ grey/ color in this pattern. I want to do one of these, but not sure what colors I want to use. love that "long armed star" that is formed. Pati, in PHx.

I'd very much appreciate it. The more variations I see the happier I will
be. Thank you for offering! Diana "Betty in Wi" wrote in message ... Diana I made a Storm At Sea quilt from a Better Homes & Gardens pattern in light and dark green with a red heart in one corner.

That sounds like a great idea. Ill take a look. I think I am missing the
boat on values. Black is so absolute. Diana "Pati Cook" wrote in message ...

I think that is the same pattern (the red heart) that Joan8904 has (or had)
on her website a couple of years ago. It was done by her mother and had been entered in the KY State Fair. It was very nice. Dee in LeRoy, NY "Betty in Wi" wrote in message ...

I believe that pattern was in the premier edition of the Better Home and
Gardens Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I've always thought I'd make it, and it's probably been 10 years since it was published. It's still not made. "Betty in Wi" wrote in message ...

All this talk of the S at S quilt has made me think that my yellow and blue
quilt might actually get done. I love this pattern. Now all I have to do is figure out where the colors need to go. I don't see this done anywhere so it will be unusual in my circle of friends. I will keep you posted. Any suggestions as to color placement is greatly appreciated. -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242 |

I dont know if this idea will help you or not, but now, having seen Betty's
S at S (which is lovely, btw) I think the key for me will be to make one of my jpg versions of the quilt, using the fabrics I like, and then turn it into a grey scale image. That way I can get a clearer idea which fabrics are not contributing to the wave feeling. A blue and yellow one would look fabulous! Diana "nana2b" wrote in message ...
