You Float My Boat Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
You Float My Boat combines two framed feature blocks with seven blocks made from smaller print rectangles. Designed by Wendy Sheppard with the Land and Sea collection by Katherine Quinn, this beginner quilt finishes at 40.5 by 52 inches. Narrow sashing divides the blocks and separates the three pieced rows. The two block constructions share the same unfinished dimensions, allowing them to fit together in one arrangement, and simple outer borders complete the rectangular quilt top.
