Make Your Own Easy Sailboat Quilt

For this Sailboat Quilt, I used one sailboat quilt block pattern and built the rest of the quilt around it using fabric remnants and offcuts.

The key is that the block has a division between water and sky at either side of the block.

You could use a different sailboat block to the one I did or you could make a less detailed sailboat using half square triangles and rectangles.

I can’t give you exact yardage measurements for this quilt but basically, I had bought a bundle of someone else’s leftover blue and navy fabrics.

Once the FPP block was finished I measured the size of the finished block. I think it was around 12″ plus the seam allowance.

I then pieced strips to either side of the block that were approximately 2/3rds sky and 1/3rd water.
