Glass Bottom Boat Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Glass Bottom Boat frames squares of the Aquatic focal print in a 66-by-71.75-inch quilt designed by Wendy Sheppard. Narrow light gray pieces and colored coral or sea-turtle prints surround each center square. Pieced swimming-fish sashing separates the blocks within four rows, while narrow horizontal strips divide the rows. An inner tonal border and an outer sea-turtle border complete the setting, leaving repeated areas of the larger aquatic print visible throughout the quilt.
