Sailing away

You might remember I mentioned when I was at retreat I couldn't go any further with my sailboat quilt because I had not cut the correct number of pieces. This is where I left off. I have a wayward sailboat, do you spot it! I am leaving it, not having a date with Jack. 


I quickly finished the last sailboat and got started on the sashings Thursday. 


Friday I finished up the sashings and am ready for the border and quilting this week.

The sailboats are made using the 12" cube from AccuQuilt and the blocks finish at 12".  Dies #5 and #8 were used. This makes for a quick block. The sashings were all cut with the 1.5" strip die, I even cut the navy 1.5" squares with the strip die by laying the strips across the die.  Love the strip dies.

  2. That is a cute sailboat quilt. I think the one wayward boat adds some interest. Those strip dies are most used in my GO stash.

  3. That sailboat is not wayward... they are in the leader in the regatta and just turned around ;) Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell party.

  4. Happy Monday, Vicki! Now that is one darling quilt top! You are Sailing Away on this gorgeous quilt. I just love that one block is opposite than the others- a happy accident that turned out delightful! Hugs

  5. Those are so bright and cute, Vicki! I definitely think you should leave that one misbehaving boat as is - at some point they all have to turn around and go back the way they came, right?! Do you have a recipient in mind for this one?

  6. So cute, Vicki! It makes me chuckle as it's like salmon swimming upstream. And it's the lead boat!! Too cute. Love every single thing about it. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
