The Pirate quilt is finally finished. Using a piece of donated pirate fabric, I started stitching these RSC blocks back in January this year. Cutting the pirate fabric into squares I made Happy Blocks, during the months when the colours of green, red, yellow and light and dark blue were called.
I also had another piece of tan fabric featuring pirate ships, so used that as a border. Both of the pirate fabrics were given to me from the stash of my elderly neighbour Dorothy, when she was moved to a rest home a couple of years ago. It's good to put some more of her kiddies fabrics to good use.
The quilting didn't take too long to do, and I'm pleased with how the pirate quilt has turned out. I bound it with the same green used as the inner border. Some little boy is sure to love it.
Although the pirates are sailing under the Jolly Roger flag on the front of the quilt, it is a different story on the back. Looks like those rascally pirates have stolen a New Zealand flag to hoist on their flagpole. Oh dear me!

Another fun donation quilt sure to bring a smile to a little boy’s face. Well done!
Such a fun quilt and good to get your RSC blocks together so quickly.
Jenny, Rascally Pirates is a fabulous quilt. Love all those fabrics and the quilting looks great. A little boy is indeed going to love this quilt. He will snuggle under this quilt drifting off to dreamland full of adventures sailing on the seven seas, on the Jolly Roger. Such fun!
Ooops......I forgot to say the NZ flag is a brilliant idea for the backing!
So cute, a little guy will be thrilled.
Such an adorable little quilt that some young boy will really love. Those pirates are so cute--nice work on this hugs, Julierose
Super cute quilt finish, Jenny!!
That's an adorable quilt, Jenny! You found the perfect colors for the happy blocks and border print. And a fun surprise for the backing, too!
That turned out so cute with that pirate fabric! Great job!
The fabric and humor in your quilt are such I fun, I wish I had young grandsons again.
I absolutely adore this pirate quilt, Jenny, and choosing the NZ flag for the back was inspired! Any child, boy or girl, would be thrilled to receive it!
That is such a fun quilt and I love the flag on the back. Now we know where those pirates landed and hid their loot.
You are so crafty! I am in awe!
Those pirates look great and someone is going to be very happy to own them. Great idea to use a flag as backing.
The RSC pirate blocks have made a fantastic quilt and the border fabric was perfect and good use of the ANZ flag for backing. A little fella is going to love it.
Great finish on your pirate quilt and what a fun idea to put the NZ flag on the back.
It really is an adorable quilt. You do well getting quilts made for young boys! Sometimes difficult to do. Love your backing! Perfect!
