Have you ever made the storm at sea block?
I’ve made many storm at sea quilts over the years and actually have an American Flag storm at sea quilt pattern called Star Spangled Banner
Accuquilt has a storm at sea die, THOUGH you COULD combine a QUBE set and a triangle in a square die or the QUBE expansion, but you won’t get the tiny squares in the middle of the corner blocks.
This month I made a light blue block and a turquoise block and the background is supposed to be grey with also a focus fabric in the squares
The carebear one is kind of funny
so far I have 6 blocks
I don’t know if I like that the grey is either light or dark, but so far it’s half and half so that’s ok, but I think it needs something!
this is what these blocks would look like so far with a black border
and with white sashing it’s 36″ x 50″
and with 12 blocks it’s 42″ x 54″
then I played some more with the sashing and added blocks, it’s a bit wild, it would be 54″ x 69″
instead of doing pinwheel blocks I just did those areas black and also black where the grey is, a totally different look!
as you can see I just colored the pinwheel blocks, so I went back and actually changed them to squares and then did a solid black like the border
I think I like this, they are sort of floating!
