Would love to see it when done.

Very cute quilt!!!

Sail Boat Quilt for GGS to be born 9/12/14 additional info
 

For those Board members who have shown an interest in this quilt pattern, I am posting a closeup of the sailboat square. I tried to sew all of the pieces doubled and turned for 2 reasons; one this was easier for me and two because you could see the background fabric through the sail pieces. For the water piece that goes over the bottom of the boat, I used lite steam a seam and then just sewed that piece down. I did this with the flag also only I zig zagged around the flag. I tried that on the water but did not like the finished look. I'm sure that there are better ways of appliqueing than the way I did mine so good luck and thank you for your support.[ATTACH=CONFIG]489943[/ATTACH]

Very cute, and will be loved into toddler years, I'm sure!

That is an amazing quilt....and the fact that it was all your design makes it so very special. The colors your chose are perfect --- i just LOVE it.....and so will the new baby and his parents i'm sure.

This is adorable. Perfect for a little boy!

Oh I think your sailboat size is the perfect size with the sky and sea. You quilt will be awesome. Good IDE with the blue sashing-- you may like the boat sizes better after you complete that part. Thank you for posting :)

Love the combination of scrappy blocks with your appliqued sailboats. It's a beautiful design. Such a beautiful gift for your new GGS. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Very nice. I like the way it looks without bordering each boat. maybe think about the dark blue for sashing or border for the finishing?

Thanks so much. I'll try to figure it all out. Hopefully it looks as good as yours
