Also, comment right here on my Blog for a chance to WIN one of these WONDERFUL issues of Quilmaker's 100 Blocks Magazine!
My Quilt Block Smooth Sailing was sooo much fun to make. The sails are actually folded to create a dimensional effect! Choose your own favorite fabrics for the sail ... I liked the look of stripes to add the feeling of movement. You can use any width of stripe ... look at this Christmas sail!
For the sailor in your life, you might want to use a fabric the color of his/her sail. Add embroidery or applique' letters and numbers to personalize your captains sail boat!
Make 9 blocks, add sashing and cornerstones ... what a cute babies quilt!
Whatever the occasion ... Smooth Sailing is the way to have FUN!

You did a great job on the Smooth Sailing block, "cover girl"! I like the idea of "sailing away" with Christmas colors. amdorn@verizon.net

Hi Michelle, this is Diane from Quiltmaker. I write the patterns for 100 Blocks. We're so happy to have you with us for Volume 13. Your block was one of my very favorites!
Very cute block. It would be great as a mini wall hanging.
Love your block. I'd like to make it into a framed mini quilt for friends who have a sailboat.
I like your sample with the Christmas fabrics. Santa could sail in with gifts instead of using a sleigh.
What a fun block! I like the folded sail detail.Thanks for the chance to win.
I really like that sailing block! What fun!
Good morning...
Nice block with so many personal details to make it the quilter's own. I'm not a sail boat person, nor do I know any but this sure is cute block. Since I do charity quilting mostly--- I can see it as a teen quilt in my future...
