Sailing Summer Games Block 15

Sailing Paper Pieced Block by Kari Schell

Sailing (also known as yachting until 2000) has been one of the Olympic sports since the Games of the first Olympiad held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Despite being scheduled in the first Olympic program, the races were canceled due to severe weather conditions.

As a reminder, each day during the Olympics I will provide a free block for the quilt.  The instructions for each block will be downloadable for 24 hours.  Check in each day to get all the patterns at no charge.
