I really *really* want to make one bad, but I don't know if starting yet
ANOTHER project is a good idea, with school and work and all that Real Life
crap to deal with. Then again, it's never stopped me before. I see mine a
bit on the Amish side, with blues+/-greens +/- purples on a black
background. Maybe doing small prints/mottled/ blenders on solid black or
solid (looking) colors on BOB. That way it will show the maximum cat hair
when employed. ;-)

Chaos, panic and disorder ... my work here is done.

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?
