It's very scrappy. The blocks were finished and signed at his Birthday Party
As a little joke, I put his upside down.
This summer Rich has been playing with a friends' used Laser. He and Andrew went sailing in it over the 4th of July weekend.
Small craft advisory? No problem......
I can't remember is this was before or after they capsized.
Boys just love messing about in boats, don't they?

What a cute boat quilt. The signatures make it even more special. I have never been on a sail boat, but would like to try it.
What a clever gift. Love that you made it a signature quilt--and put his upside down. Maybe that capsizing thing is unavoidable since you did that. : )
What a great quilt! Love how personalized it is.:)
Your quilts are so personal.. each one of them have special purpose and story. Love that your husband signed that up side down block himself.. I am assuming :-0 Fun photos of them out on the sail boat! Happy Monday!
Great quilt and fun story. Love the upside down boat. I guess every sailor has to capsize at least once. Good thing they're OK.
Neat idea - signature quilts are favorites of mine! Sailing is great fun - as a passenger!
great quilt, so special. I love how you have made quilts for your family that all have special meaning to them and you.
great choice for a backing!

Love everything about this quilt. It is humorous yet sentimental and the backing was perfect!
I love it when you show us your quilts from the past. This is such a beauty!! I love that it's a signature quilt and that you put his boat upside down. Wonderful photos of the guys out sailing.
I noticed the capsized boat right away. Pretty sweet birthday quilt.
What a great quilt, and how clever to have just have just one "capsized"
Such a good idea for a sailboat lover. The signatures on the sails are a good memory of the special occasion. I just made some sailboat blocks for a Country Threads quilt design.
If I remember right the ocean was pretty bad that weekend, lots of rip currents!!! They look like they had fun!
What a great birthday quilt, memories written all over it.
I love how you commemorate things with quilts. I rarely do that - not organized enough I guess. Great that Rich still gets out there and sails. Must be extra fun to have his son out there with him.
What a great quilt Barb! I LOVE your block -- First Mate indeed! And they capsized? That sounds scarey!!!
What a fun quilt and a fun story.
Great meaningful quilt and it looks like so much fun on the water. Is it near your new home?
What a great quilt. I noticed that upside down boat first thing. Hopefully he never capsizes.
I learned to sail when I was young. It was fun but haven't done any in years.
We had a sailboat when we were young, and now I have many sweet memories....but no quilt!! Why didn't I think of that???
Love the boat quilt - so summery and patriotic!
