I finally decide on what I'm going to make for our friend's wedding: a Storm At Sea quilt. Other than the name of the quilt, I decided it would be a good wedding choice because I can piece a heart into it. I am using Pam Goggans Smooth Sailing pattern and Deb Tucker's rulers Diamond Rects and Square Squared rulers.
I have always wanted to make a Storm At Sea quit, but the diamond within a rectangle units put me off. There is really no way for me to make an accurate diamond within a rectangle unit with conventional piecing. There were several options for paper piecing the units, but I decided the Diamond Rects ruler would give me the most accurate units with minimal waste. I can't say that all of my units are exact, but they are close, and I am happy with them.

That sounds like a beautiful option for a wedding quilt. The units you have made already look great. I haven't seen that tool before, but it is obviously useful.
I have not made this pattern for the same reason. Thanks for the link to the youtube video. Your fabrics are gorgeous!
Your diamonds all look great .
