Back in my post on February 11, 2021 I told you that our guild purchased a license from Mary Mayhem so that we could all make her mystery quilt pattern “Regatta.” I know I told you that you wouldn’t see anything until the quilt was done, but it’s happy and colorful, I just couldn’t resist posting a sneak peak.

Shown above are 3 identical strips from one step of the quilt. I sure they won’t be sewn together the way they are in the photo but it does give you an idea about how my various blue backgrounds and my stack of colorful 5 inch squares are coming together.

If you are making this quilt yourself and wondering why my blocks don’t look like yours, it because my sails are facing in the opposite direction. I needed to do that so at the seagulls aren’t flying vertically! Note to self: directional fabrics don’t play well in half square triangle blocks!

My guess is that our guild’s release of the next step in mid-May will be the “big reveal” of the finished quilt pattern. So I’m hoping it won’t be too long before I’ll be able to show the finished quilt.
