As an artist, I am intrigued by optical illusions. Bea, the oldest and most experienced quilter in my class, shared a quilt made in this pattern. I knew immediately that I wanted to try it. "Storm at Sea" can be found easily in books, magazines and online but if you like optical illusions try Quilting Illusions by Celia Eddy published by Barrons.
Blue and yellow make a great color combination. This lap quilt is backed with flannel which makes it cozy while watching TV or reading a book.
I machine quilted in the ditch, following the pieced shapes.
Hi. I'm Janet, a retired home economics and art teacher of 32 years. I'm a wife of 45 years, mother of 2 married boys, a grandmother to 2 boys and 2 girls, an aunt to my sister's 3 girls and their 7 children. I have always loved sewing and doing art and now I have combined these talents with quilting. I hope you find my designs and quilts an inspiration and my hints helpful.

Absolutely beautiful quilt, Janet!
Everything is sewn so perfectly. I wish I were as good at sewing as you are!
I have never done Storm at Sea either but it has been on my list for years.
