Focus on Design: Storm at Sea

Focus on Design is my once in a while thread. I start one when the moods strikes. The purpose it to discuss the design elements of a designated quilt top. This is not the place to talk about chocolate, sewing machines, kids or other popular issues. Please reserve those for other threads. In this thread, let's FOCUS ON DESIGN: STORM AT SEA QUILTS!Here are two from Debi's album ... these are quilts she photographed at a recent quilt show. The first, Marie Karickhoff's Red Tide, is the traditional S@S setting with an uncommon red and white color way. It carries some of the block elements into the border. second one, Kim Moore's Tropical Storm, has a unique setting, and a unique multicolored variation. It has Virginia Reel blocks in the is a coloring page with a S@S 'quilt' design. I do not care for the 'double sashing' or whatever you might call that. I like the 'single' version as in Red Tide, above. The Quilter's Cache Version also has the 'double sashing' you want to see some patterns, go to Block Central and click on any of the three links. do you have a Storm At Sea Quilt? Steve in Alaska said he made one ages ago. I hope he posts a photo of that one. I have been 'saving blues & greens' for one for ages. Maybe this thread will give me the push to start! How about you?PAT in Virginia, USA

Kitty, your Star Circle quilt is beautiful! I love being able to see it in it's design state and then finished. A lot of quilts never make it that far. I also love your log cabin lap quilt. It looks so comfy; a perfect snuggle quilt.

Just as a general FYI, Quilt University is having a class in Storm at Sea starting later in October. I don't know anything else about it, but thought it worth mentioning. NAYY with QU, just a happy class taker....
