Storm at sea is a very popular quilt block. It looks more difficult than it really is.
There are different ways to make this block. I’ve made it in the past with foundation paper piecing. See below.
This time I’ve used mixed techniques.
Do you think you’ll give it a go?

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

Hi Annette, I don’t have that information I’m sorry. And I wouldn’t want to give you the wrong information by trying to guess.
