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.

The second one, Kim Moore's Tropical
Storm, has a unique setting, and a
unique multicolored variation. It has
Virginia Reel blocks in the border.

Here is a coloring page with a S@S
'quilt' design. http://tinyurl.com/oq99j
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' look.

Sew, 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?
