I did a pirate quilt by just using fusible then blanket stitching around it. The tops of the sails are ragged and loose. This was my first attempt at appliqueing and I didn't really have a clue as to what I was doing. It has Pirates of the Caribean fabric on the back and a blue and white nautical symbols binding. It was an adventure to try to blanket stitch around the sails without sewing down the flappy part and also not quilting over them. If you like any of my ideas you're welcome to use them. The little flag on the ship was made by copying and reducing the larger skull and cross bones fabric then printing it out on Printed Treasures. It's the size of a baby blanket.
