ISO: sailboat/irish chain quilting pattern
Everyone here as been _so_ helpful in the past ... that I though maybe
you would be able to come through one more time. I saw a quilt this past weekend at a local show and it was a pieced sail boat that looked to be in the middle of a modified irish chain. I _loved_ this pattern (not to mention it was done in some of my favorite colors!) I'm sure it was in a pattern book somewhere ... but I don't have the foggiest idea of where to start looking. (All that was included in the display was the name of the maker!) Any ideas? It's a long shot ... but anything will be helpful. -- s |

Is this the one? http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/CJSailboats.JPG I
based this on a pattern in a book I had borrowed from my guild's library (or maybe it was the public library), but I can't remember the title of the book. The blocks are nine-patches alternating with the sailboat blocks and separated with a sashing. The sashing matches the background of the sailboat blocks and the light patches in the 9-patch blocks. The cornerstones in the sashing match the dark patches in the 9-patch blocks. There is border (again matching the sashing and background) with cornerstones matching the cornerstones in the sashing. The dark in the 9-patch blocks is blue with red stars; the boats are a more subtle print in the same shade of blue; the background is white with a small blue & yellow print. Blocks are 6 inches square, finished size. Border and sashing are 2 inches finished. As I recall, the pattern gave instructions for traditional piecing of the sailboats. I used Quilt-Pro to design a foundation pattern for foundation paper piecing. It is based on a 16-patch block, so the pieces are a bit small-ish, at least compared to what I usually work with.
