Storm At Sea Quilt Designs

I am thrilled to announce that the Storm At Sea Design Book and 5 new Inklingo Shape Collections are ready.

The design book (download, 80 pages, $20 value) is free when you buy one of the shape collections. (The design book was free without a shape collection for several months when it was new in 2010.)

Precision corners make Storm At Sea easier with Inklingo than with acrylic templates

Instructions for Storm At Sea

The Storm At Sea Quilt Book includes detailed instructions for sewing and pressing these versatile shapes. I must admit I was very excited when I realized how easy it is to sew these shapes, thanks to Inklingo’s precision corners.

Machine piecers love Storm At Sea with Inklingo. There is no need to trim after sewing, and the units are easier to sew together when all of the shapes are the perfect size with straight grain in all the right places. All of the corners on the triangles and diamonds match perfectly, so you probably won’t even need to pin. If you do pin, there are perfect matches.

Print the shapes on fabric with any ordinary Inkjet printer. The ultra-fine lines use colors of ink that do not show in the finished quilt

Storm At Sea Quilt Templates are not as good!

Cutting and sewing along a line goes back to the roots of our craft.

In the past twenty years, Storm At Sea has required weird rulers/templates or sewing through paper because the diamond is 53.5 degrees, and not many of us are good at that kind of measuring. Some quilters insist on sewing fabric, not backward through paper, so this design has more appeal with Inklingo.

No more paper to pick off. Perfect straight grain. It couldn’t be simpler. Plus, the triangles and squares are extremely versatile for other designs, like Square in a Square, Flying Geese, and more.

Some of my favorite Storm At Sea quilts use more than one size, so there are 5 Inklingo collections to mix and match.

There are many design options with Storm At Sea, but at first glance, you may wonder why 6.75-inch. In fact, it is a very useful size.

Storm At Sea as a border for quilt blocks

Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville used this size of Storm At Sea to sash 4.5-inch blocks in her version of the Jane Stickle quilt, “In The Pink,” and Bonnie gave me permission to use her quilt as an example. Also, 6.75 is 75% of 9.0. All Inklingo Storm at Sea sizes are compatible with each other.

You probably need to glance through the Storm At Sea Design Book to understand all of the benefits. I won’t repeat all 80 pages here.

If the Storm At Sea Design Book doesn’t convince you that all you need is an Inklingo download to make a better, faster, easier Storm At Sea, I don’t know what will.

Monkey and I both hope you enjoy this design as much as we do.

  3. This may be the design that finally makes me sit down and get familiar with the sewing machine. Doing a block by hand made me appreciate just how quick it would be to at least put the units for each row together by machine.
    The collections are brilliant!
