    :D ...
    I am not an experience quilter...and I decided to make the storm in the sea when I had even less experience with....
    One advice: Do not rush..... Go slowly on it..Its a very difficult design to match and you won't regreat all your efforts once its done....
    If you will be in a hurry you will find yourself ripping more then sewing....
    Some of the pieces looks the same but they are not.... so be very careful...
    Good luck and don't forget to post it
    :D

    i guess it would have been helpful to check to see if the 1" test square was right on BOTH templates. :roll:
    I'm not sure why one printed right and one was wrong. I only noticed it when i went to put all my pieces together.

    I speed pp piece....If all of your square in square blocks are identical sit down and do them all at once....the center and the 4 corner pieces...and then the next 4 corner pieces..... the same with your rectangle block...
    If the fabrics change....I mark the back sides of the paper with the corresponding fabrics....
    I also rough cut all of my fabrics before I start sewing, and group the fabrics with the papers and pin them together. You can print out extra paper and use them as templates...just make sure you give yourself a little extra fabric to work with and be sure and use the same side of the templates that the fabric lays against...or the angles will be wrong!!!
