Okay, so our official sit n sew day for my Storm at Sea quilt SAL isn’t until February. You know what it’s like when it is all cut out and you just want to sew. I have been playing with my block of a ship. I’m glad I did it at home because it took me hours. I think these harder blocks need a lot of concentration.
Anyway, this is the block I wanted to start on. It’s the 9” one.
It took about an hour to find all the pieces and lay them out ready for sewing.
It is looking a bit of a mess.
Well the ships mast is done and some of the boat part too. This was about another hours work. I’m not sure how the overall quilt will look but I will give it a go.
Well, obviously I am getting tired as this isn’t quite right. Oopsie
Jack has been used many times while making this block but wow it’s looking good. I am happy. I can see the boat. There are a few eye spy blocks too to keep the kids amused.

You're doing a great job Jo! This quilt pattern would be perfect for my niece. She is getting married soon and the fiance has a sailboat they've been sailing on.
That is going to be a beauty. I love the little boat in the middle. It looks like a fun QAL.
How exciting seeing your "vision" coming to reality.
Oh wow! Never would have thought to make a boat out of storm at sea! Can't wait for the rest of the quilt, however fussy it may be.
Very exciting to see your drawings come to life as a quilt block.
Well done for persevering Jo
Thats fun- I love the addition of the ship. xx
Lots of patience to make your block.
Looks great !
Very clever design, but looks really challenging.
I don't think I'd get it right if I was wide awake, let alone tired.
Wow! A lot of work! I don't think I could cope lol. Looking great.
great designing & creating your own block design& see it comes to life,it's going to be a beautiful quilt!
This is a really interesting take and I'm excited to see how it works out.
