On Worthing Beach by Jenny Anderson
Jenny showed us her variation of a Storm at Sea quilt at the Show and Tell at Derbyshire Area Day in November 2021. The patchwork is made of scraps, some of which were twenty years old. Borders and backing were new fabric. The machine quilting highlights the implied circles in the design. The pattern came from an old book and was much harder to put together than it seemed on first reading!
