Hoping someone can help with block
 

What I see is the front sail is a HST. which looks like it is over 1/2 of the block. Back sail rectangle with attached triangle. Boat rectangle with two triangles.

I know one of the great gals will come along and figure it all out for you. It will make a cute boys quilt.

My way would be to collect a selection of bright colours for the brick work at the top and base.
Boats with paper. Rectangle 2inches by 6inchea fold the ends base an inch from the corner on the base onto create the shape in pictUre.
On paper using the corners up 6 inches along base 3inches join dots should be a right angle triangle
On another corner up 4inches and along 2 inches. Join dots and make another right angle triangle

Play with these shapes to make the boats us heat and bond light stick on a background and zigzag edges.

Then on strip of large risk rack.

Hope this helps I know what I men hope you do.

To make an 8 inch block, make a 6.5 unfinished HST for the main sail. For the small sail, make a partial flying geese block. Use a rectangle that is cut 2.5 x 6.5. Sew a 2.5 inch square on the diagonal and trim to make a half flying geese for the small sail. sew it to the right of your 6.5 HST.

Make your boat with a 8.5 x2.5 rectangle. sew a 2.5 square of your background fabric to each end on the diagonal and trim. Sew this to the bottom of the sail units and voila! a sailboat block.

It looks like it's paper-pieced.

Hi, saw your posting about the sail boat, looks like paper pieced and that's easy on that design. Take your block size and say it's 6" or 7", cut 2 pieces for the size your using, then trim to triangles for the shape of sails, then cut bottom part to that shape 6-7 inches long then trim to shape. Pin to block and applique the pieces on to your block in the center, use a blanket stitch to applique with and it's done. You can do hand applique for the blanket stitch too if your machine doesn't have the blanket stitch. You don't have to turn under the raw edges either if you use a blanket stitch wide enough to cover edge. I've done a lot of applique & blanket stitching and it's very easy. It does not have to be true to size, your blanket stitch covers a multitude of sizing problems. You'll do great..Good luck.

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.

The one in the picture isn't appliqued. It's either pieced in three sections or paper pieced.

Here are the components of your block. Add background strips on top and bottom after piecing to make it the desired size square or rectangle.
