Smooth Sailing

Today I'm sharing a quilt I made in 1999 for my Husband's 40 Birthday.   He's been sailing his whole life, so I thought the paper pieced sailboat would be perfect for a signature quilt.  There are 40 boats, of course.

It's very scrappy.  The blocks were finished and signed at his Birthday Party

As a little joke, I put his upside down.

 I used a lighthouse panel for the backing.

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?
