View the video about these quilts at Tennessee Thrifter YouTube
I came across some interesting quilt patterns in a book Modern Minimal Quilts and made 4 of them.
Instead of having 4 quilts separately, I used them back to back so that was 2 quilts. Quilting is expensive, so that saved me l/2. The pattern for the sailboat is one that i blew up giant size from a 20"x20" block. I enjoyed making these and love the way they turned out. Each of the minimal quilts took me about 2 hours to make from cutting the fabric to the actual sewing. The sailboat pattern took a little longer, but none took as long as a typical quilt. I found a store that quilted all 3 for $124. I furnished the backings and did the bindings.
