Several years ago a fellow quilter and myself made a Storm at Sea Quilt to be raffled at our annual Holiday Fair. We split up the block, each doing one portion. While it did come together well, I learned the valuable lesson that 1/4" on one machine might not be the same 1/4 " on another. If I were to reproduce this quilt today, I would be tempted to PP it for maximum accuracy and ease of putting the top together.

After I had taken an introductory class on starting a quilt, my first one was Storm At Sea (for one of our son's who lived near the ocean). It was paper-pieced which I liked because of the precision of the pattern. I took me seven months because I was working at the time. After dinner I would quilt until bedtime. It turned out very nicely. I had someone else quilt it on a longarm machine.

Okay guys,

here re is an update to where I am at.....

tomorrow I will be completely paper piecing a block and I will also create a block using the sizzix triangle in a square die (to make the diamond in a rectangle block and I will report back to how I found both.

so on the diamond blocks, did you make a 1/2 block at a time using Tri-Recs or did you fold the fabric over and cut the diamond that way? I'm going to be making one out of batiks, don't want to pp and planned to use my Tri-Recs
