ShiplapAhoy Multi

 

Each block in the Shiplap Ahoy Quilts Pattern is created simply and it’s possible to make every single block unique. Using methods for Nancy Zieman’s Folded Flying Geese, Shiplap Ahoy features the five shiplap prints to create blocks. Using three or four background strips, each block will have three-dimensional triangles (geese) at various locations. We think you’ll enjoy the results when you stitch the new Shiplap Ahoy Quilts.

The quilt design features yardage from Nancy’s new  fabric line,Farmhouse Florals by Penny Rose Fabrics, a division of Riley Blake Designs. Make the quilt using  Farmhouse Florals or sew the design in your favorite light, medium, and dark fabric values.

Colors

Create this quilt in two different sizes and two different color palettes. The multicolor, bed-sized quilt features all five shiplap fabrics as blocks’ backgrounds. The small lap-size quilt features a more monochromatic design focusing on blue, cream, and white.

Fold and Stitch Techniques

The flying geese showcased in each quilt are easily creating by using Nancy Zieman’s Fold and Stitch Technique. Each triangle is three-dimensional unless you opt to stitch down the right and left sides of the shape. Here’s a sneak peek at the folding:

 

  • Cut assorted squares using the size chart listed in the Shiplap Ahoy pattern.
  • Fold the squares in half, matching wrong sides.

  • Meet the folded corners from cut edge to the center, as shown. Press.

The Blocks

Blocks in this quilt are created using three or four background strips and an assorted number of prepared folded triangle geese. The nature of this style of construction will give every single quilter a truly unique design. Team Nancy Zieman cannot wait to see your quilts!

Create a total of 20 blocks for the lap-size quilt and 30 blocks for the bed-size quilt. You’ll be pleased with how quickly these stitch together.

    They are both nice, but I prefer the blue and white quilt.

    Love, love, love, love this fabric collection! It reminds me of being at my grandma’s when I was little. I love both the bold multicolor and the blue and white. I think they would look great as a front and back of a quilt (reversible).

    The bold, bright one is striking, but the soft blue one would be just perfect for a little baby boy, and the pattern looks so fun to make!

    I lean toward brighter colors with more of a contrast but would do both if it was for a gift.

  • DebbieW

    I prefer the the blue and white themed quilt, so calming and reminiscent of a day at the beach.

  • Beverly Becker

    I love the blue and white quilt. It would be great for a baby or as a lap quilt for an elderly sailor. Beautiful fabric selection!

  • Ann West

    The blue and white quilt seems to exude calmness and peacefulness. This seems perfect for a child’s sleeping quilt.

  • Judith Abbott

    Although I usually go for the bold colors, in this design, I prefer the second quilt. The light blue is especially nice.

  • Patricia Evans
    June 26, 2018

    I like them both, but think I am more of a subtle type – so I would have to go with the first one.

  • Lorraine

    Snuggling under a quilt made with these beautiful fabrics and the flying geese pattern would make for a perfect dream. I’d love to put my hands to such a project if I am the winner.

    Both quilts are lovely, but I do prefer the way the bold multicolor blocks pop.

    I LOVE THIS LINE OF FABRIC. Shiplap is all the rage now. This quilt I feel using the folded flying geese has a modern spin on a traditional method.

  • Max

  • Nancy Ballard

    I like the blue and white softer print.

  • Melanie Eddy
    June 26, 2018

    I like the more traditional look of the blue and white quilt. It is a versatile fabric line to look modern in one quilt and traditional in the other.

  • Brenda Ackerman
    June 26, 2018

    I would make the multi colored quilt first, it is just so pretty with all of the lovely flowers and variety of colors moving about. Yet, the blue and white would be so perfect for a little boy quilt. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • Marylin Land

  • Karen
    June 26, 2018

    Although they are both pleasing quilts, the blue and white just really appeals to me. I have made many blue and white quilts for myself, maybe that’s the reason.

  • Patti Mason
    June 26, 2018

  • Janet johnson

  • Starla

  • Suzanne Cook
    June 26, 2018

    That is a hard choice to make because they are both attractive! I am drawn to the bold multicolor more because of the use of the bold colors from the fabric collection. The back of the quilt would be wonderful with the lighter colors and just a few flying geese to accent the lighter background. Nice pattern. Thank you!

  • Shirley Clark
    June 26, 2018

    It kind of depends on who it’s for! I love bold colors mostly, but I also love muted colors for babies.

  • Mary Nasvik
    June 26, 2018

  • Jeanie Bellinger
    June 27, 2018

    I really like the multi colors in the larger quilt. With the variety of colors this quilt can be given to a male or female. It has a nautical look for a person who prefers boating or a seaway interest. Playful enough for a childs quilt as well. The motif gas clean, crisp lines.

  • Glenda Blair

    I like the blue and white best, but for my grand daughter I would use pink where the blue is! The 3D flying geese make this a very interesting quilt!

  • Pamela
    September 23, 2018

    My fave is the shiplap. Colors are great and the concept of 3D is a great addition. The fabrics themselves are just too sweet.
