The past few summers I've had the privilege of volunteering for my church's annual camping trip where we take teenage girls out camping for five days. It's a wonderful, rewarding and tiring experience. Many people put their heart and sweat into this experience, including our two camp directors. Last year I made the red cross quilt for one of them and this year I decided to make a quilt for the other leader.
Our theme this year (because we have to have a fun theme!) was traveling and each group had their own mode of transportation. The main leadership group was assigned boats and the color blue.
With inspiration from Cotton Way's Smooth Sailing pattern, I used a Mini Swoon to create a sailboat. I kept the colors to red, aqua, and navy and am so pleased with the results. Why don't I use this combination more often?
Now this happy little quilt just needs to be quilted... I'm leaning towards clamshell quilting. What do you think?
