I made these two blocks and sent them off to EMily from My Darling Dogwood. She is a part of the Bee Inspired group and mentioned in her post that she would accept block. They were fun and fast and a nice diversion from having to finish quilts. Glad to participate and go sailing away for a bit.

Also, I have been working hard on the cutting for Sherry’s QAL at Powered by Quilting. I finished cutting yesterday. Let the chain sewing begin.
See you tomorrow with a quilt and a givewaway!

Hi Kathleen! Lots of busy-ness going on this month, isn’t there?!! Love those boats – I adore making them and whenever I see them I want to make a quilt. I’ll be back for the the fun. ~smile~ Roseanne
I did have a great time making them, and like you, they always make me want to make a quilt with them.
A lot of fun things to look forward to for sure. Your boat blocks look great and I’m sure Emily will be happy to receive them!
I am sure Emily will be happy – I just hope not too inundated.
You will enjoy Sherry’s QAL and making those blocks. They go together easily. It’s a great pattern! Those boat blocks are very cute; I like the stormy looking sky. You are busy with several projects!
I had done a test block for her, so I know it was fun. It will be my idiot sewing – and boy do I need it today.
Pretty boats.
Thanks!
I need to get cutting for Sherry’s QAL! Your sailboats are beautiful and arrived yesterday. Can’t wait to see your quilt for the Island Batik hop!
