Details on the Nautical mini quilt, which finishes at 31 1/2-inches square, are below. To download the PDF, click on the image at the bottom of the post to open and save the PDF.
Nautical Mini Quilt
For me, nothing says summer like thoughts of spending time around water, whether on a beach, in a boat, at a pool, or in a summer rain shower. I selected a grouping of 9 cotton solids, and playing off a nautical theme I created a fun, skill building mini quilt.
This mini quilt will help develop consistent 1/4-inch seam allowance skills, agility in handling smaller piecing (1 1/2-inch wide strips), and familiarity with methods to make some standard quilt blocks that are building blocks for many other patterns. The resulting mini quilt looks less scrappy due to intentional use of blending backgrounds and the nautical flag theme.
Sizing / Finished Measurements:
- 31 1/2-inches x 31 1/2-inches
Materials:
- 7 fat quarters
- 1/2 yard of background fabric (navy)
- 1/2 yard of white

Another fantastic quilt, Yvonne! I have a nephew who I think would really appreciate owning this quilt. So thank you so much for designing and sharing this pattern with us. Sadly, it will not have a chance to be made until sometime next year; I have so many Christmas projects going on right now and several large quilt projects to finish as soon as the holidays are over and so forth…. but thank you! I hope that you have a wonderful creative day!
I love this quilt and pulled the fat quarters to make it when it was first published. I am still planning to make it but it will have to wait until after christmas. Thanks for a great quilt!
This is a lovely quilt, and it is so generous of you to give out the pattern. I love the graphic design and all those beautiful shades of blue.
Thanks for the pattern. I really enjoyed seeing this when you first blogged about it, and I still enjoy seeing it today.
This one is also so clean and sharp, love it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Very nice work, thanks for sharing.
That looks like a fun quilt / I like the binding colour changing at the corners too 🙂 Thanks for offering it for free!
I always loved this quilt, the choice of the straight line quilting was wonderful for the design.
A beautiful mini quilt…on my list! Thanks for sharing this tutorial! I still love it, the design always grab my attention!
Oh I love all the summer dreams you spoke of Yvonne. You are such a sweetheart! And very generous to offer your pattern as tutorial too.
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I really like the the very squared off look…I’m an “in the box” kind of person. Also like your new portrait.
Yvonne, I love your nautical wall hanging! The only problem is that I want to drop everything I am working on and make it! So fresh! Thank you for the pattern!

Thanks for sharing the pattern. I like the blues that you have chossen for this quilt. The wall hanging pops up on the white wall.
How neat. I love the fabrics you selected and plan on making placemats with mine.
Is Jasmine meaning she’s going to make placemats purely with the fabric or using your pattern? I do like the idea of nautical placemats picking out different sections of your design, so they’re all linked by the theme but not matching.
