Simple Sailboat Quilt

I didn’t use a quilt pattern I just used one sailboat quilt block pattern and built the rest of the quilt around it using fabric remnants and offcuts.

I based this entire quilt on one foundation paper pieced sailboat block.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8689edc-7128-4e12-8d0f-bd62014cb83d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f43c136-a502-4b23-bc59-fde77a812619","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

STEP 2

[{"selector":"#anim-b728316b-2065-4a51-b5f7-d5b66ce9414c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b55d0c5f-85ce-4af9-9e9e-0a54a4e330a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] I started my quilt this way because when I searched for a nautical quilt pattern, I just couldn’t find anything that I really liked but I did find this sailboat block so I figured I’d have a go at adding to it!

Fabric Planning

[{"selector":"#anim-4c05ccad-7f6f-4ea9-ae1d-0b852c560d3c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1e97141-895a-4b0c-9955-c6e2603b1e19","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 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 on ebay.

Building the Quilt around one Quilt Block

[{"selector":"#anim-7da0e510-b6c7-41b5-8a5f-1c7b22d69296","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5c8b7c3-2b86-471d-be5c-8b2d614b71d3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] I used the blue waves fabric for the sea and the bird fabric for the sky and I added a pop of red for the bottom of the boat itself.

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

[{"selector":"#anim-1f173a07-f0db-4dfd-82e1-b1b1c10564df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Next I measured how much of the block had the ‘water’ in it and how much had the ‘sky’. I then pieced strips to either side of the block that were approximately 2/3rds sky and 1/3rd water.
