Storm at Sea
Is this quilt on your bucket list? The Storm at Sea is a traditional quilt that has been around for years. It uses small changes in straight angles to create an optical illusion of rounded shapes. Only advanced quilters USED to be able to make it. Now, that is a thing of the past. This class will make it easier no matter what your experience level may be. We will break it down into 4 different units and with the aid of rulers, piecing will become easier with every step. Come prepared to learn, not to mention, make an heirloom to enjoy for generations! 85 ½” x 109 ½”. We will be providing Bernina 770’s, ¼” foot, bobbin, microtext 80/12 needle and straight stitch plate.
