Ahoy!



The boy's baby quilt is finished - more or less. It is bound and labeled, but I need to touch up a bit of the quilting. See the little dot in the upper right hand corner? That's a flower pin and marks the place where the thread apparently broke leaving a small gap in the quilting.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

  1. a great and colourful quilt and I am feeling good as I can recognise the blocks you have done, at least I think they are bow tie and pinwheel, I am slowly learning!

    1. Yes, exactly so. Pinwheels and bowties they are.

  2. There are so many things I like about this quilt: the applique boats, the plaid strips framing the pinwheel/bowtie panels, your colorful fabric choices--well done!

    1. Those plaid strips add a lot, but they are a bit of a bear to work with. The plaid is woven in, not printed on, and the fabric is more loosely woven than other quilting cotton. I have found this to be more or less true of all woven cottons I have worked with. This is a Karen DuMont pattern that was printed in a "Scrap Quilts" edition of one of the major quilt magazines. When I can lay my hands on the magazine, I will give a better reference.

  3. Hello Mary Ellen,

    What a sweet little quilt! I love the rickrack waves.

    Love,
