The simplified borders for Nancy’s Ocean Waves are done! Finally. I’m kinda in love with this version too. (If you want to hum along to the love song running through my head, here you go.)
I have updated the original Nancy’s Ocean Waves post with the printing chart and uploaded the 2 PDFs you need to complete the quilt. The Math PDF shows the blocks and a has a partial chart that shows how the different blocks go together in odd and even rows plus the half and corner blocks for the edges. The Border PDF has the Ship’s Wheel and Ribbon/Shell/Starfish border appliques. Also included are a set of templates for hand piecing or foundation piecing the Mariner’s Compass blocks.
A couple of things to note: The original post for Nancy’s Ocean Waves is for blocks that are laid out in an “X” design.
Top left corner looks like an X.
This is a less common layout for an Ocean Waves quilt but fewer block configurations are needed so it is less complicated to put together.
The printing chart and Math PDF in this post are for blocks that are laid out in the more traditional “O” design.
Top left corner looks like an O.
Again, the Math PDF shows the different blocks and has a partial chart to show how the rows and edges go together. Because the half and corner blocks that go around the quilt center need 2 variations to complete this layout, you really need to pay attention to which block goes where so all those HST units are going in the right direction. The Border Applique PDF is the same for both quilt layouts.
There is currently no 6 inch Quarter Square Triangle [QST] available in any Inklingo Collection so the QST will have to be cut from squares as noted on the Printing Charts for both Ocean Waves layouts. (Someday, I would love to see an Inklingo Collection for a 6 inch Ocean Waves quilt that would include the 1.5 inch HST, 4.24 inch Square, 6 inch QST and the 3 inch HST for the corners in the “O” layout. Oh, it would be really great to have a 12 inch Mariner’s Compass Collection. Hehehe)

Sewing HST units with Inklingo
===
Whew! This is definitely the most complicated Design Sheet set that I put together. Now that this project is done, this is where you will find me… LOL
===
Stella’s Star is a 4-color, 5-fabric quilt in an on-point setting. It measures approximately 70 x 70 inches. This quilt uses two different 10 inch blocks. When they are set on point it is hard to tell where one block ends and the other begins. I like that it has almost a plaid look to it.
This design uses the Inklingo Half Square Triangle [HST] 00B and Inklingo Quarter Square Triangle [QST] 00B Collections. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott.
Stella F Williamson is my great aunt. She was born in July 1872 in Rochester, New York. I don’t know much about her other than she is the oldest child of Georgianna (DeLong) Williamson, was married twice and had a least one child. I like the name Stella so that is why I chose to feature her.
