Out to Sea
I had so much fun designing and appliqueing this quilt.
I had many already made blocks for Lori Holt's Bee In My Bonnet Granny's Garden Sew Along Quilt and then had a handful of the background circles all ready to be used. I opted to make a quilt with the Granny's Garden blocks and then a similar, but more masculine, second quilt. The quilt with the Granny's Garden blocks was claimed by my sister immediately, so much so that I didn't have time to get many pictures of it! I now introduce the more masculine version of this quilt, still using Lori Holt fabrics but differently.
Instead of following the same applique technique in the first quilt I did raw edge blanket stitch applique on this one. The eyes of the whale and fish are circles of Minky, and the mast of one of the boats is a satin ribbon.
The backside is pieced from six fat quarters.
You'll find this quilt in the Jude Harbor Etsy shop.
