WIP: Storm at Sea Quilt Top

Here it is!


I finished my Storm at Sea quilt top awhile back.  I think it turned out awesome!  I pretty much love it.

All of the blocks were paper pieced using freezer paper - that's probably why everything matches up so well.  I like paper piecing.

Look at all those seams!  This quilt is going to be HEAVY.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with it next.  So far it measures about 39 x 48, which is definitely not as big as I want it.  I've got a bunch more of the egg shell fabric, and I knew all along that I was going to add a border of some kind.  But that's about it.  I have no idea what kind of border to add, or how big to make it.  I've got a little bit of each color left over, but not enough to make another row.  Decisions, decisions.
Luckily, it is almost December and I am well into making Christmas gifts at the moment.  I think this one is going on the back burner until January.  Of course, if you have any awesome ideas about how to make it bigger, send them my way. :)

  16. This quilt is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see it finished. Can I also mention that my very favourite bit of the picture above is that you went to the effort of matching the pegs to the top corners so they wouldn't distract or detract from the overall impression! <3
