Storm at Sea - finished!





Sheri's quilt took longer than planned: I always forget how long it takes to do lots of SID and background quilting.  (Picking out stitches added time too)  Sheri spent a lot of time on it too, and said she put in plenty of time ripping out seams and resewing. Her top was nice and square and she took the time to serge the edge which I really appreciate.










It turned out pretty, front and back.

    Just gorgeous, I really must make one of these quilts, I love the way you've used a variety of colours throughout the quilt. It almost looks scrappy, but I suspect you planned it all along. Lovely quilt, and quilting.

    Beautiful quilt, Lovely quilting I can see the work you both have put in. Do you use the curved rulers for your lovely curved cross hatching? I have thought of getting these, but wonder if they might be awkward to use on a domestic machine?

    Thank you all for your compliments and comments! Leeanne - I did use a Judalator ruler for the curved crosshatching. It is made to be used with a longarm hopping foot and would not work with a domestic machine.
    LynCC - I used Hobbs wool for the batting.

      That's a nice compliment - but most of the quilts on my blog aren't mine. I quilt for other people and they would probably be cranky if I sold their quilts!

    Beautifully executed design plan. It makes my ruler-hand cramp, though. I bet she loved it.

    The quilting on this is so amazing. But so are the color choices. Is there any way to find out what colors the sewer used?

    The most beautiful quilting I have seen in a long, long time. It shows me that the best is indeed possible--maybe not for me, but I will enjoy reaching for that level.

    the last quilt my mum and i were working on is a Storm at Sea..she passed at the end of August....all in blues and white - then today this came into my page -- all rainbows and beautifully crafted. Grace is always with us. Thank you this moment this morning, and thank you for bringing this quilt into the world!

    Just beautiful---I started looking for the pattern as soon as I saw your quilt--Your design of the Storm at Sea is a bit different from what I am finding--Can you tell me where to find this pattern design--most appreciated. Great colors, wonderful design and perfect quilting. Please e-mail to the following: Jacquie_p2003@yahoo.com

      This is not my quilt, I quilted it for a customer. She says it is made from a book by Wendy Matson called A new Light on Storm at Sea Quilts

    Whoever owns this quilt should enter it in contests, so that other quilters might see it. I have seen thosands of quilts and this one is a pure delight. Both of you did amazing work and I say show this one off! It is a joy to see it.
