I haven't made a quilt in forever but friends of ours from the sailing club are having a baby and I couldn't resist making something special for them. I was looking for something quick and easy that I could pull together in my makeshift studio with the limited supply of fabrics I had on hand. This one was so good the first time I decided to do it again.
He's just so adorable and the 12 wt. Aurifil really makes the quilting pop.
I changed it up a bit this time and made the stripes 8 1/2" wide but otherwise it's the same construction as Murray. The backing is a plaid seersucker I had in my stash and it gives this quilt such a fun texture and makes it a feel a bit more nautical. It quilted up nicely so I'll definitely be checking my stack of seersuckers when pulling backings.
He made quite a splash at the baby shower. We can't wait to meet our newest little sailor!
