The Latest Jaybird Quilts Pattern: Set Sail! (jaybird quilts)

Meet my latest pattern, Set Sail! This quilt is all about diamonds and triangles that have fun together and make for great movement across the quilt top.

Quilt Details Fabric is True Colors by Tula Pink Pattern - Set Sail, JBQ 164 Designed by me Quilted by Angela Walters Started on 2/15/16 Finished on 3/14/16 Quilt measures - 61" x 75"

We took the quilt to Hawaii and battled the wind during our photo shoot.

Law really knows how to show off the pieced back and quilt labels during our photo shoots!

Set Sail is Fat Quarter Friendly. The lap size uses 18 Fat Quarters. Tula Pink's True Colors collection has 20 prints so I used everything except the black and the white. I decided to use the white for the setting so the black is the only print I didn't use in this quilt.

Angela Walters knocked the quilting out of the park... as usual!

Set Sail was inspired by the prints of diamonds, Track Flags, pictured below in green, cream & blue. It's part of Tula Pink's new collection called "Slow & Steady." This collection is her 20th and is being shown at Quilt Market this week. Slow & Steady will be available in stores in September. Tula and I worked together on the fabric placement & layout of this Slow & Steady Set Sail quilt.

Here is a Twin Size version of Set Sail in Slow and Steady. This quilt is made from Fat Quarters and the Twin size is perfect to show off all 25 in this collection!! (You may want more fabric if you would like to fussy cut.)

Fabric is Slow & Steady by Tula Pink Pattern - Set Sail, JBQ 164
Designed by me Quilted by Angela Walters Started on 3/17/16 Finished on 4/10/16 Quilt measures - 69" x 90" The twin quilt is so big that I needed Lawrence & my dad to help out for the photo shoot!

After our outdoor photo shoot I brought the quilt inside to get some more detail photos.

It looks so good on my bed that I might need to make the queen size now too!

It also looks great in my living room. Maybe I'll just need to make a Set Sail quilt for each room of my house!

Here are the True Colors Lap quilt and Slow & Steady Queen quilt hanging out together. After snapping this photo I really wanted to hop back into bed!

I love the pop of green binding on this quilt. It is a small scale hexagon that is a throw back to one of my favorite prints in Neptune. I have a feeling that I'll be buying an entire bolt of it!

Set Sail is made using my Super Sidekick ruler (click the link to the ruler to see the video tutorial on how to use it).

I also decided to whip up this Baby Size version using Kona Cottons.
