Quilting in the Desert 2017



I attended Wendy Mathson's class 'A New Look at Storm at Sea' at Quilting in the Desert this year. Wendy has designed trim plates to assist in making the traditional storm at sea block. I love her trim played. They are easy to use, provide three different sizes of the block and allow for fantastic alignment of the pieces.

Another quilt of Wendy's featuring the twisted shapes called snails trails. 

One of the first finished blocks by Diane. Way to go!

Susan, from Calgary did a scrappy storm at sea, and then enhanced a few blocks so the star shapes would pop. Can you see them?

Jeanne made a very colourful flower pattern. 

Jaci had some wonderful peacock feather fabric that she put in her project. 
Carol has some stunning colours that make her quilt pop. 
Linda and Susan, mother and daughter duo, each made very different storm at sea colourways to create completely different patterns. Wow!
Later on we could see Jeanne's quilt coming to life. 

A close up of Susan's piece showing the two stars and part of a third star coming to life!

Here is my project. I designed a landscape using the smallest size of trimplate. Can you see the mountains coming to life?
