Loranne’s Baby Sailboat Quilt

Hi there,
hope you’re having a great spring or fall!! I love the Spring time, it’s my favorite. Oh, do I have a sweet baby boy quilt to share with you!

This fun quilt was made by Loranne, and like this one most of the quilts that Loranne makes, she does without a pattern.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting, and an Omni cream thread from Superior Threads.

I decided to do the same diagonal lines in the ships and circles in the pole, throughout the quilt. For the sails, I did a variety of different designs. I’ll share what I did below each picture, I know some of them may be hard to see. The one above has 1/4” pinstripes on the left sail, and a 1/2” grid on the right. With waves and clouds to add to the whimsy of this quilt.

Pictured above: I quilted half inch diagonal and vertical lines to create a diamond shape, then a pinstripe grid on the right.

Pinstripe diagonal lines, and horizontal 1/2” lines…above.

Instead of the typical two lines to make a pinstripe, I did a triple pinstripe vertically, and a burst of lines coming up from the inner corner of the sail.

A horizontal pinstripe, with the same diagonal line I did in all the ships.

A pinstripe diamond grid, and vertical 1/2” lines.

My 1/2” woven design even works in small doses, as well as an echoed triangle.

L shape echo on the left, and a ray shining down on the right.

Wavy lines left, and random sizes of squares…right.

I know there are some that are similar, yet they are all different. It looks beautiful to have some variety. I finished off the sashing with freehand ribbon candy.
