Focus on Design: Storm at Sea Quilts
First, I want to announce that the 'feature' I recently
introduced as QSD (Quilt Style Design I think) has undergone a slight change. The name of the feature is now "Focus on Design: ___________" Why? Well, I think this name is quickly and easily understood by any poster, including the newbies. Also, *I* kept forgetting the Acronym and/or the Title!! So I came up with this new name, with able assistance from Diana, Queen of Art. Again, Focus on Design is meant to explore our preferences in color, style, and set ups in our quilts. We are not working out the problems of our SM, our QI, nor the dearth of Chocolate in our current Diets!! Someone recently asked me to Focus on Storm at Sea, a Traditional Quilt Top. She particularly wanted to know how to arrange the values (light, medium, and dark) to get "that sea sick look!" Only a few days later someone else started an interesting thread on construction problems of S@S!! I still think it is a good idea to discuss the colors and so forth. Batten down the Hatches ... here goes! Pat in Virginia S@S with unique color ways. http://equiltblocks.com/cgi-bin/bloc...ath=./sixteen/ Here is a link to S@S ... with paper piecing. http://www.blockcentral.com/detail.php?id=1751 Now S@S in the traditional color ways of blue and white. http://www.connectingthreads.com/ct/....y=12&PBpage=3 |

Ah, one of my favorite patterns, though I've never made one:
I once printed a couple pages of foundation patern for a miniature one and decided it was a little more ambitious project than I wanted to do at the time. g The first two links you posted are not a "true" S@S, (the kind that make you sea-sick Ha!) because they have a double row of what "should" be a pieced sashing around the square-in-a- square block. These are typical of what you find in computer quilting programs like Quilt-Pro and Electirc Quilt, although EQ5 has an optional 2/sided block to make the one like that shown at Connecting Threads - which is is the "authentic" S@S. (now how do you type S@S so it isn't hyper-link?) Mickie "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ...

That was one of the BOM's at my LQS. I'd never paper pieced before and I
have to admit I found it a bit fiddly.. but I do like the look of the block.

One day I will have another go!
This is the way I always think of SatS. I needed this design for something I was doing. I didn't have a pattern, so looked at a few examples/pictures in books and worked out the block - just as you showed it in the first link. So, I made up the eight blocks I needed to fill the particular space. Horrors! Of course when I put it together I realised what Mickie said was *so* true!! I had neither time (nor inclination I have to admit) to re-do the whole lot, so I left it. But it remains one of my favourite blocks - visually - and I will manage another one day. I did mine in blues. I didn't use white, but a very pale blue that looks white. It was also this design which made me realise the importance of right side/wrong side in the side piece - diamond in a rectangle! So, for me, a very learning experience g ..

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 "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ...

Hi, Pat, I love S@S. You can see mine on Elena's site (Elena...long time
no read???) at the 'Five photos' block: http://www.picturetrail.com and in the box type lnw7. It's a Jinny Beyer WUH which was paper foundation pieced, and it went together faster than any I've made before. Happy July 4th Everyone! Nancycog in MD |

The current issue of Quiltmaker has one in it that's pretty cool, or I guess
I should say, Hot! It's called Heat Wave, and you can see it he http://www.qnm.com/winners/feature97/index.html There was another one in a magazine several months ago that used black and white as the base colors, and a spectrum of bold colors ran across the diagonal. If I can find the magazine, I'll post a link. I especially liked that one because it used prints, not just TOTs and solids. I'd love to do a SatS for my bed. My DH is particularly fond of how the straight lines produce the illusion of curves. I want to use batiks, but I haven't decided a color design yet. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ...

The first quilt my mum made (which was for me even!) was a S@S. I picked
the colors. I was about 12. So I picked 3 shades of lavender. There was almost no contrast. And she put no border on it at all or binding proper. We both learned a lot from it. Contrast is *essensial* in this pattern. -georg |
