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.
http://tinyurl.com/hl7oz
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?

Mum's first quilt was a SAS. I picked out the pattern and the fabric.
It's on my bed right now (it still keeps my toes warm). I did not pick a
light, medium and dark- I picked a light, another light, and a medium,
because I wanted all lavender. Um, the contrast was not enough there-
this is a design that needs the contrast.

She did it all by hand, and it has held up to daily use over the past
20+ years.

Oh my, you still want a picture of that old Storm at Sea quilt? I have a
request in to my Mom, so someday I might get a picture of it. I dare say it
is quite ugly considering that the colors of the 80's were browns and rusts
and things like that. Not that browns and rusts are bad, but when one looks
back one sometimes wonders. I have seen some now days that are beautiful
with all the new colors that we have at our disposal. If somebody could
just teach me how to sew those three odd shaped triangles together into one
nice rectangle I would be all set. I just can't seem to ever get it right.
I very much avoid blocks with such triangles. Oh well.

There's a ruler designed for that angle! Called Lazy Angle IIRC. I pick it
up frequently (but don't look at the name anymore).

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. ;-)

HI Pat - I don't have a Storm at Sea in the works but I do find it to
be an intriguing design - so many possibilities to play with - trouble
is to choose the colour palette to begin with. I also suggest using
the webshots search to see 122 photos of 'Storm at Sea' quilts in one
place.
