Nice job on this quilt. I love the colors. Yes sails are a little hard to see but still love the pattern and quilting motifs.!
I too agree with the possiblities that are left out there to applique. So much fun.

Knitting and crocheting are all done by hand and I have been doing them for over 30 years, so it doesn't mean much to me to spend more time handsewing than machine sewing.
This is my latest effort in hand applique. I didn't get the color of the sails right, so they don't show up as well as they might.
