FLOAT MY BOAT


I know absolutely nothing about boats; I'm a dry-lander by experience and birth.  However, I do know what "floats my boat" when it comes to fabric!  

This was definitely a "use it up, make it do" project that appealed to my frugal nature.  The top is all from my scrap bins; the batting is pieced from five pieces leftover from past projects; the backing is pieced from four scraps; and the binding is pieced from eleven leftovers.  Plus, I used up several partially-filled bobbin spools!  Time consuming yes, but I have more time than money.

This was a different  project for me; and who knows, I may someday have a great-grandson who needs a baby quilt! 

The Stats:  Float My Boat, 2023, 27" x 27", Paper Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted.

Hidden in one block is a shark just lurking around.  He looks friendly enough!!!
