This quilt is an original design for my first grandson, Hudson Peter Lien. His nursery is decorated in a nautical theme and so my daughter Michaele asked me to make a nautical theme quilt in blues, sand, and gray, with red as an accent.
The lighthouse and sailboat blocks were paper pieced. I quilted the top to bamboo batting. Then I added a striped Minkee fabric for the backing and quilted around each block.
