Progress on Deb's Sea Swept quilt

This quilt is not complete, and it has a history already....lol.  Sometimes a quilt takes a long, long, time to make.  Though in this case it was mostly marinating, both in my brain and through taking my time to collect fabrics for it.  

I went back into the past posts to see just when I started it, and came across a few posts.  The first one was way back on March 25/2018 Storm at Sea quilt variation (QW).  The (QW), for those who are new here, means Quilt Want-to-be......lol.  Another term for a quilt that has been added to my wish list or as some people refer to it as their bucket list.  So way back in Mar/2018, I decided I wanted to make a variation of Storm at Sea.  I've come to find out later, that the version that I want to make is actually called Sea Swept.

Then back on Dec 5/2023 I wrote a post called, The starting of a Sea Swept quilt.  This is where I spoke about collecting the fabric and the making of the first cornerstone block.  I also wrote about this quilt again on Oct 25/2023 called Preparing for an upcoming quilting retreat, where I talk a bit more about it.

So, that was almost exactly 2 years ago, when I last spoke about this quilt.  Though, it's not the last time that I did some piecing of it.  Let me give you an update on it.  I finished all the cornerstone blocks.  These were made shortly after I posted about them in Dec/2023.

Then later, during the retreat of Oct/2023, I worked on the sashing blocks.  I did a bunch of them, but realized that I had cut one shape incorrectly.  As I cut the wrong side, I was only able to salvage the batik fabrics, as they are double sided.  It was a discouragement at the time, and took me until some time later to finally cut another batch of pieces to finish these sashings.  I still have to trim them all and remove all the paper, but the sashing blocks are done.

More recently, I started back up, making the actual blocks for this quilt.  As you can see from the picture below, I have the papers on these ones too.  There are only a few completed thus far, but now I made a pack to start making them again, as part of my one a week goals list.  This one is listed as making 3 per week, so they will start to accumulate quickly....if I stay on track....  These should be done sometime in June/2026, though that will remain to be seen....lol.  Any progress, is progress right?

I thought I would add this picture in here as well.  This is to see how the blocks fit together.  One cornerstone block, two sashing blocks and one actual block.  I can see the design starting.  If you're curious, you can visit one of the previous posts, for a full picture of what the quilt will look like.

I'm surprised it took me this long to write a progress post on this quilt.  I guess it's been busy around here and no lack of stuff to write about.  That is what keeps it interesting!!

Take care everyone.
