    I pulled a bunch of fabrics to work on this color progression, but, as the top grew, I had to pull many more colors than I had initially to make the transition smooth. Added the one fish print just for a little color and a focal point. I used the Fast 2 Cut Storm at Sea Templates by Wendy Matheson to make the blocks and I think the templates are well worth having. There is some fabric waste, as you need to trim the blocks, but you also get a really neat block!

    Well, thanks, but I really think the template did a great job! I've not been able to piece that one diamond shape very well in the past :) I'll try to put some more tops on that I've made using that template for designs other than the Storm at Sea, because that diamond shape is handy!
