Probably 5 or 6 years ago, I bought this sailboat collection called On Deck from Craftsy on clearance:
I put the fabrics away when I originally pieced the top, but a couple years later, I decided it was time to clear out some bins. I pulled these out again and just cut everything into 5" squares. I still think these prints are so cute. I made 3 more quilts and this is one I just finished. I made HST's and set them in a herringbone layout that finishes at 40 x 48
I've always liked this simple design and I'd love to make a biggie-sized, super scrappy one at some point. I backed this one with a matching print that they sold with the fabric at the time
And bound it with a solid blue from from my stash
Sandy quilted it with an all over pattern called Surf's Up that fits it perfectly although it's hard to see:
I've stashed it away in my armoire for the time being. It's so nice to have a few extra quilts made up and ready to gift when a baby arrives.
I'm currently binding the next little quilt made with these fabrics so that's up next.
The times you've shown the little sailboat quilt, I've always thought it was adorable. And I love the herringbone pattern..would be great for a donation quilt using larger blocks!! Must remember that. LOL
ReplyDeleteSimple blocks do make wonderful quilts when they are well done and you did a great job! Congrats! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration!! I'm in the process of sorting/cleaning out my sewing room closet and hope to get to stitching soon. Keep inspiring me, please!
