The only problem was that I had to do my own calculation for fabric requirements. I used 3 batik fabrics in blues and greens. I’ll definitely make another Storm but want to use entirely different fabrics. This is such a versatile pattern you could use it time and again and come out with completely different pieces of art.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719518605685078977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801146061707521989.post-92223984837834314712020-08-24T23:18:38.113-05:002020-08-24T23:18:38.113-05:00Prefers about 13-inch stitches-per-inch for piking...Prefers about 13-inch stitches-per-inch for piking.

It is a very challenging quilt and I am so glad that I waited! I am much more experienced than I was when I bought these and it was still quite frustrating. The diamond with the triangles was OK, but the square in a square in a square was difficult. My seams were maybe a tiny bit smaller than 1/4 inch and the second set of triangles were too small. That often left me with no seam allowance. I was also cutting them with the bias on the outside edge so they were a bit stretchy. I did recut many of them and it all came out OK, but I'm a little afraid to wash it as some of the seam allowances are really really scant. It's a wall hanging so I can probably get away without washing it. I will make a bigger quilt at some point and I am glad I started with the smaller one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728201098240957013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801146061707521989.post-60465223541776648252018-12-29T14:18:00.026-06:002018-12-29T14:18:00.026-06:00Thanks for your advice.

I'm about to tackle a full-size Storm at Sea quilt, just as soon as I can figure out how much of how many fabrics to buy. I'll paper piece it, as it's the only way I have a hope of being accurate with my seams. It will be my fourth quilt. I do like a challenge, but I may be biting off more than I can chew with this one.

You will have such a feeling of accomplishment when you finish it, and, if you're like me, then you will never ever want to make another one! I've made many quilts since then, but, to this day, I avoid quilt patterns that have squares in squares because they were so challenging with that quilt.
