I've drawn it on graph paper and I just can't get 'it' in my head how to construct the sailboat portion. I'd like to make this close to the 'typical' baby sized quilt of 36x45... However I'm open to suggestions of course :0)
As far as I can tell this is not a pattern that is for sale....just another incredible quilter that can venture into original creativity. Somehow the creative fairy missed me on her rounds.

It would be easy to draw out and paper piece. Use a ruler the size you want the block to be and draw the square. Then draw a line straight down the center and one across a quarter to a third of the way up from the bottom. Draw the lines for the two sails. The small sail is the #1. The background on the small sail is #2. The large sail is #3. The background on the large sail is #4. The boat bottom is #5 and the two bottom corners are #6 & 7.
