Sailboat Quilts from the American Folk Art Museum
Lately, whenever I am looking for something else, I see sail boat/tall ships quilts. These two are from the book Quilts: Masterworks from the American Folk Art Museum.
The sailboat block in both quilts is the same (a shorter version of this month’s lotto block) which makes the contrast between the two quilts even more interesting–one seems to lean toward the Gees Bend style, the other feels purely Amish.

Our winners this month will win some basic blocks that they can take in any direction they choose by adding to them.
