did you have any specific problems? i find stained glass to be one of the most forgiving techniques...so easy to cover oopsies. i guess the only tip i can offer is...cut your applique pieces generously, so you have a little overlap (the bias tape will cover the areas when you apply your (leading). like with all applique start from the lower layer and work your way up, fuse all pieces in place then add your leading and zig-zag the leading in place, which holds all of your applique pieces securily

That's beautiful! The movement in it is so realistic, I could almost feel like I'm at sea. The idea to include in a Storm at Sea is fantastic, look forward to seeing that!

thought i would show a bit of the storm at sea design...only the blue part is part of the quilt design, the tan's in the upper corner are not part of the design...the square in the blue colored area is where the sailboat is 'supposed' to go....only time shall tell how it looks in the end :thumbup:

what a beautiful block! Someday, maybe!!!!

Wow that is wonderful

Beautiful! Will you paper piece it?
|
no i am not paper piecing the storm at sea blocks, i am using the "fast2cut quilters' trimplates / rulers-templates and piecing each block...some by hand at work others by machine at home. got the idea from the book-"a new light on Storm at Sea Quilts by Wendy Mathson" the book comes with blank design sheets you can print off to color and play with design.

Wow....I love it!! Great job. I used to do actual stained glass projects with glass many years ago but still love the looks of it. I will have to try my hand at the fabric type.
