Captivating Design Elements

The sailboats featured in Set Sail are as charming as they are easy to create. With clear instructions and straightforward piecing techniques, you’ll have your fleet of sailboats ready to set sail in no time. And when paired with an Irish chain, the quilt takes on a whole new level of visual interest, with images of gentle waves and breezy nautical afternoons.

Versatility in Size and Style

Whether you’re stitching up a quilt for a newborn nursery or a king size quilt, this pattern adapts to your needs. Experiment with fabric choices to create a quilt that reflects your personal style – from whimsical seaside hues to bold nautical motifs, the possibilities are endless.

How I Quilted the Set Sail Quilt

For the quilting, I wanted a whimsical touch that perfectly complemented the nautical theme. Using this 3.5″ Clamshell Quilt Stencil, I decided to flip it upside down to create waves across the quilt top. The result? A charming design that brings the sailboats to life, bobbing gently across the rolling waves. This playful quilting design adds depth and movement to the quilt, and was an easy free-motion quilt design..
