Love it. I notice you put bits of red in the storm at sea pattern; it kinda makes it twinkle. or is it my computer screen?

That is so beautiful! My husband is constantly encouraging me to make a mariner's compass(we have a sailboat), but the paper piecing worries me. The one you made is absolutely perfect!

Actually the blocks are Storm at Sea blocks. Glad everyone likes it!

Wow, that is so perfect for a Coast Guard quilt! I had no idea storm at sea had so many settings. Had to go look it up on the web and was awestruck. Never realized it could look just like 54-40 or fight depending on the setting and how you did the color placement. You did a spectacular job!
