Starboard Free Quilt Pattern by Natalie Crabtree
Description:
Starboard is a 78 x 78 inch quilt designed by Natalie Crabtree with Cassandra Zaniboni’s Rocky Coast collection. The intermediate project alternates two block designs: framed fabric centers with corner triangles, and more detailed blocks assembled from flying geese and four-patch units. Five rows of blocks are divided by sashing and small cornerstones. A wide outer border surrounds the square layout, with the binding made from the designated coral red fabric.

- Cut the fabric pieces and make the first block style by adding corner triangles and framing strips to the large center squares. Repeat in the listed fabric combinations.
- Strip piece the four-patch units and sew the small and large flying geese units. Combine these with the center squares to complete the second block style.
- Piece the horizontal sashing rows, then arrange the two block styles in five rows with vertical sashing strips. Join the block rows and horizontal sashing in the illustrated order.
- Sew on the outer border, adding the side strips before the top and bottom. Layer with batting and backing, baste, quilt as desired, and bind with the coral red strips.
