Another Birthday Present :)

I finally finished this quilt I made for my friend in England's 17th birthday last week.
His favorite color is blue. :)

The pattern is called "broken dishes". It was used during the Civil War for the underground railroad. They would hang a quilt out on a fence to let the travelers know if it was safe for them or not. This pattern means "unsafe house".


He loves the sea and sailing and this pattern reminded me a bit of sails. :)
I embroidered a label on the back.

It's in the mail on the way to him right now. I hope he likes it! :)
