This quilt kicked my butt. Just like the High Seas repeatedly kicked Sinbad's butt whenever he felt his life was a little too normal on land.
This high adventure quilt twists and turns using a classic Monkey Wrench block. And just in case you are wondering, I think I will dedicate an entire post later to the difference between a monkey wrench, snail trail, and Virginia reel... sort of like the difference between a cobler, buckle, and brown Betty. The differences can be subtle, but exist.
I'm really proud of this pattern in the book, because when I say I break it down, I mean I BREAK IT DOWN. Anyone, and I mean any one, whether you are weary of your life on land, or are always on the edge, can make this quilt and dazzle and amaze yourself, and friends. But especially, yourself. And your Mom.
Are we in Nepal or Utah??? Who knows???
I'm thinking about starting a quilt along. What would you rather make with me? The High Seas quilt, or a Diamond Mountain?? or a Castle Treasury?
