I learned there is a new(ish) baby boy in the extended family that I hadn't even heard about.
A good reason to make a new quilt! It's always more fun to sew a quilt when there is someone to give it to.
I paged through my "Big Book of Baby Quilts" and chose a pattern with sail boats.
I wanted to use fabrics from my stash and I had plenty of colorful scraps for the boats and even some fabric with a wave (water) print to surround the boats.
I thought it would be cute to use the fish print as alternate blocks. Now I need to choose one more fabric. I like the yellow print above but it's pretty busy looking.
Below, this blue print is calmer and matchy, but it's sort of "bleh" looking.
This gold print below is like a lot of little suns shining on the boats, but again, very busy.
I'll keep rummaging around in the closet and hopefully find something suitable.
I've made a couple if sailboat themed baby quilts in the past. Different patterns though.
This one made around 2008.
This one in 2017. I like these sailboats best, because of the little flags, but I think they were tricky to sew...paper piecing.
The weather forecast shows a string of wet, gloomy, cloudy days ahead.
A good time to be inside at the sewing machine!
