When I made this quilt, I didn't think about writing a pattern, as this was a special quilt for my son as he embarked on his 2 year Peace Corps assignment. With so many requests for a pattern, I'm happy to announce the Seafarer pattern release today!
Since I was working from in-progress photos, I decided to make a baby quilt size to test the pattern. Isn't this just too cute???
The baby size version, which uses the same block size as the lap and twin/double size, measures a nice 39" x 39". And it's so soft - cotton batting, bits of flannel on the back,
and a nicely spaced wave design for the quilting.
Looks and feels just like the bigger version!
Now a bit more about the pattern, available at Etsy:
three sizes available -
baby (39" x 39"),
lap (57" x 82" - could be made shorter if desired),
twin/double (75" x 88")
yardage amounts for all sizes given
number of blocks for all sizes given
template for sails
layout diagrams for each size
and, as always, full, detailed instructions for a confident beginner quilter to complete their own Seafarer quilt.
What's also great about this pattern is that more boats could be added for a whole fleet of sailboats!
If you've fallen in love with Seafarer, head over to Etsy - the pattern is available as an immediate downloadable PDF file. Send me a picture of your version of Seafarer - I'm sure others would love to see!
Happy Quilting!
A great pattern and so adaptable
