Happy National Quilting Day! Are you steering a straight course to a Great Quilt? Follow along with us as we make this wonderful Nautical Tumble Sampler Quilt. This week’s block: The Ship’s Wheel.

Start with that 4-Patch of 7″ Squares. Applique The Ship’s Wheel (Pattern PDF linked below) Centered to the square. Trim the square to 12 1/2″ in prep for trimming to Tumbler shape later.

Some have asked why we are not trimming the blocks to Tumbler shapes now. If we did, we would have exposed bias at the edge of the blocks. I prefer not to do this until all the blocks are ready to be stitched together, thus avoiding any stretching. But believe you me, these are gonna be FABULOUS blocks that make a SPECTACULAR quilt!
