My friend Susan worked on this adorable sailboat quilt for quite a while. I'd hear about it when she brought me other tops to quilt for her. I was looking forward to seeing it when it finally came my way for it's finishing touch.

I was excited when she called to book it on my schedule. This is the "before" quilting photo.

In process.

She made this quilt for the daughter and son-in-law who own a sailboat. Isn't it fabulous!

The Waterworld panto was her design choice. It adds the perfect feel for the pieced blocks. The batting is Quilter's Dream 80/20 which I have available to purchase for my customers. Thread was Glide Tar Heel on the front and Sky in the bobbin.

The backing she brought was a solid medium blue that shows off the stitching nicely.

I'm sure that the daughter and son-in-law that received this quilt were
thrilled and will remind them of warmer days and beautiful breezes on
the water, especially while hunkering down during our cold, snowy
winters.

There's no doubt that Susan is working on yet another fun quilt top that will come my way for stitching at some point in the future. I can't wait to see what it will be.
