Storm at SEA planning and preparation

 Our sewing group is going to have a SAL in 2023. We will be sewing the Storm at Sea design quilt. We have the GO Cutter die and wanted everyone to have a goat using it. The hardest part for me was choosing a design that everyone else won’t be making. So I have combined a few patterns. Coloured in my sheet, roughly.

Spent the day sorting fabrics and ironing scraps. This is going to be totally scrappy. I haven’t even worked out what size it will be. I will worry about that when the time comes.



Saturday 6th Jan my friend and I will spend the day cutting. Then on the 1st weekend in February we have a sewing weekend where we will all start the sewing. Anyone that needs help will be put on the right track. There is no deadline for this quilt but it would be nice to have it done for our quilt exhibition in September.

That is going to be so good to see coming together. It will certainly be a challenge. Have fun with it.

Wow--this looks really ambitious with the way you have colored in your design plan! Have the die for the Go Cutter will at least simplify the cutting.
Very interested to watch your progress!
