Yacht Club, June 2026
It’s
Labor Day so a lot of folks are probably out on the lake. We don’t
have a boat, but I enjoy watching from shore.
A friend gave me this large nautical flag print and a couple of coordinating fabrics a few years ago. (Thanks, Mary!) The red, white, navy and aqua colors seemed like a good fit for this quilt.
I used elements from the Galaxy of Stars die by Blue Wren to cut my shapes, adding 1” sashing between the blocks. I added 6” wide borders of the flag print.
I did all the piecing with Midnight, a
beautifully painted Singer 404. For quilting I switched to the
Janome, using white thread and a scallop stitch diagonally 2” apart
across the quilt.
I
used the rest of the flag print for backing, framing it with red
polka dot borders. This is a bright quilt! Yacht Club is 54”
square.
Stay
safe and enjoy the day!
