NEW! Farmhouse Florals Pattern: Shiplap Ahoy
Each block in the NEW! Shiplap Ahoy Quilts Pattern is created simply and it’s possible to make every single block unique. Using methods for Nancy Zieman’s Folded Flying Geese, Shiplap Ahoy features the five shiplap prints to create blocks. Using three or four background strips, each block will have three-dimensional triangles (geese) and various locations. We think you’ll enjoy the results when you stitch the new Shiplap Ahoy Quilts.
The quilt design features yardage from Nancy’s new fabric line, Farmhouse Florals by Penny Rose Fabrics, a division of Riley Blake Designs. Make the quilt using Farmhouse Florals or sew the design in your favorite light, medium, and dark fabric values.
Colors
Create this quilt in two different sizes and two different color palettes. The multicolor, bed-sized quilt features all five shiplap fabrics as blocks’ backgrounds. The small lap-size quilt features a more monochromatic design focusing on blue, cream, and white.
Fold and Stitch Techniques
The flying geese showcased in each quilt are easily creating by using Nancy Zieman’s Fold and Stitch Technique. Each triangle is three-dimensional unless you opt to stitch down the right and left sides of the shape. Here’s a sneak peek at the folding:
- Cut assorted squares using the size chart listed in the Shiplap Ahoy pattern.
- Fold the squares in half, matching wrong sides.
- Meet the folded corners from cut edge to the center, as shown. Press.
The Blocks
Blocks in this quilt are created using three or four background strips and an assorted number of prepared folded triangle geese. The nature of this style of construction will give every single quilter a truly unique design. Team Nancy Zieman cannot wait to see your quilts!
Create a total of 20 blocks for the lap-size quilt and 30 blocks for the bed-size quilt. You’ll be pleased with how quickly these stitch together.
When you finish your quilt, send a picture to [email protected] to share it with Team Nancy Zieman and friends.Watch Folded Flying Geese online in Quick Column Quilts, Part 3.

Both are just right depending on the person receiving the quilt.
First pick would be the blue.
Rose Wakefield
Normally, I like the bold prints. In this case, however, I prefer the blue and white one.
Joyce
My favorite is the classic blue and white. There is a new baby grandson coming and this would make a perfect little quilt for him, particularly since the family lives near the water!
Ann Marie Oblas
The bold multicolored quilt is just my style! Enjoy everything I see, read, and have learned from your site. Thanks!
Kimberly Tilley
The multicolor quilt
Sharon Clark

A love the classic blue and white. I’m partial to anything blue!!

The Shiplap Ahoy quilts in brighter colors and blue and white are both refreshing and simply beautiful. I love that you showed two color examples of the pattern in the same fabric line that are so different! I have to say the classic blue and white is my favorite! So calm and soothing! ❤️

Donna Klemm
I love the bright, bold colors but the blue and white is just perfect for a baby. This would make a wonderful baby gift. Thank you.
VJones
The blue and white quilt is such a classic quilt, calming and relaxing. I can see myself spreading this quilt on the beach sand in the evening to watch the waves as the sunset reflects in the water. This is the quilt I would choose.
The first picture of this post, the fat quarters, remind me of the fabrics that we would find in my grandmother’s old farmhouse, the red of her apron, the pinks in the flowers on the chenille spreads on the beds, the faded light blue color of the walls, and the light yellows of the homemade curtains on her open windows.
Cindy Johnson
I really like the blue and white theme. Perfect quilt for boys.
Pam McKay
Awesome design. Love the fabrics. The blue quilt is my favorite, but the grandsons would love the bright colors.
sylvia storey
love the surprise of the multi color. Great for using all the florals that wouldn’t really work well otherwise.

Sandy
While I love both color variations of the ShipLap Ahoy pattern, I must admit I’m more drawn to the more monochromatic, blue & white version, but would want it in a larger size. I love the new Farmhouse Florals fabric line by Penny Rose. Now to rewatch the folded flying geese video to refresh my memory on a simpler way of constructing a flying geese block.
Jerry Church
The blue and white is definitely a summer in the South quilt. With some lightweight batting, it would be great to nap under on a cool afternoon. It’s not often that a quilt has a summer opportunity.
Trish L.
The bold color design really makes the geese blocks pop plus the background shows the machine quilting design nicely, so that is my favorite. Offering both color lay outs stimulates everyone’s creativity, keep it up!
Karen
I always choose bright palettes. This would be a very generous give away to win and a nice way for me to remember Nancy.
Barbara Anderson
The softness and vibrancy of these fabrics is very reminiscent of Nancy. I don’t think any quilt made with these fabrics could go wrong, There are so many possibilities in this line.
diane c
I like the multi colored one —
Deidre McGee
Love the blue and white. Its so soothing. Reminds me of a warm spring day.
Sandra
Love all these patterns and prints but would love to make the bold colors first. These are fabrics I would normally not buy but seeing them made into blocks they are really lovely! Nice to think outside of my normal block! Nancy inspires that!!
Sandra Chapman
Love these bold colors! Normally I wouldn’t buy these fabrics but seeing them in blocks make them look totally different.
Judy Kirkpatrick
I like the one with punch-y red squares. I think it would give more scope for the imagination of a young owner.
Charleen
The rich buttery background in the first photo is intriguing but that light creamy one is cool too. Red is one of my favorite colors so hard to choose between the two.
Michal Fewx
The blue would make a great baby quilt. Love the fresh new fabrics.
Nancy Jacobs
I love the light one. It reminds me of sailboats on a lake in early morning. Keep up the great work.
Janet Best
I love both of these quilts and would be happy to make each one. The one that first grabbed my attention was the bold multicolor version. Thanks for the giveaway!
Kellie Campbell-Mulkey

I decorate my farmhouse on a Depression Era theme of bright colors. I love the brighter colors — but the other is beautiful, too.
Kat Doebel
Which one to choose as my favorite? It depends on my mood. I like them both but at this moment, I am drawn to the peaceful mood of the blue and white. It makes me think of water and sky with sails in the distance.
Barbara Cichosz
I like the light colored one. Its restful looking. Flying geese are one of my favorite blocks. Love the new fabrics too!
Carol Netzler
I love the blue and white. The triangles look so delicate. The quilting is really beautiful. Love the new line of fabric as well.

Although I like both Shiplap Ahoy quilts, I am more drawn to the blue/white/cream for I am a “blue” person. Plus these fabrics give me the beachey, warm all over feeling. Thank you for providing us the chance to win the giveaway.
Mitzi
My daughter just finished a rehab on an old farmhouse, she has shiplap walls in almost every room the blue and white would bring it all together. I would love to win this giveaway and make a quilt for her . Thank you

Mary S
The blue and white is my favorite, really nautical looking.
Betty Phelps
I truly like the boldness of the colors in the new farmhouse collection. I am currently making a charity quilt like the blue and white one. I know it will make some little boy happy.
I love the light and bright colors.
Margaret Scott
I prefer the blue and white quilt. And I adore the Penny Rose fabrics. I think the bold quilt would appeal to me if the yellow or blue cornerstones were switched to a different color.
Helen G
I just love the multi-colored quilt. That red block just grabs me. I think the colors are too wonderful not to use them all. I am a bold and bright color fan for sure. Thanks for the chance to win!
Becky Osborne
I like the blue and white color scheme. Both our grand daughter and our brand new great nephew have smallish rooms and the lighter colors will brighten up their rooms and make them seem bigger. I think. I love the florals of the new farmhouse floral fabric! They are so classic; it’s hard to find good fabric down here and these patterns are so versatile!
Kathy Van
The entire farm house line is amazing. I’ll first go for the calm blue and white theme. Can’t wait to actually do the technique.
carolyn montgomery
i like both quilts but the bright multi-colored one would be perfect for a baby; nice and bright. the florals are gorgeous so i probably would make it for myself.

Love the blue and white quilt. The pop-up colors of the triangles and the quilting really catch one’s eye! What a fun quilt to put together!!

Both look so different… I like the yellow because of the contrast and quilting..

I usually pick the brightest fabric colors, but I am especially captivated by the blue and white colors. Actually, I love both quilts!

Definitely the multi-color print. It brightens the room and becomes a focal point.
Cathy Pascoe Dillehay
I love this pattern! I prefer it in the blue and white fabrics. I am not too much of a fan of pink so I would love to do it in blue. Besides that, Blue is a big color choice throughout my home. It would look great here!

Blue and white is my choice! It reminds me of being on the shore – watching clouds go by in the sky and the different colored hulls of the boats on the water.
Kathy R Hartwell
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a wonderful prize. I like both but since blue is my favorite color I guess I would have to say the lighter one. It seems to have a feel of softness that cuddles you. The other one is bright and colorful and cheery. Again, thank you.

Both quilts are so beautiful that it is difficult to choose, but my favorite is the one with the blue and white color scheme.

Peggy V
The blue and white one, is my favorite!!!
Brenda Pedersen
I LOVE the sweetness of this new Farmhouse Floral fabric collection! Although I’m attracted to lots of color, my favorite color is anything blue, therefore the lap quilt in blue and white is my first choice here. Actually, I think anything made up with this collection would be adorable. I Vann imagine a precious baby quilt in the blues and pinks (which I adore together).
Sylvia Vega-Ortiz
Why choose between them? I feel that they each have the same potential in creating a homey atmosphere. One has warm tones, the other cool, so whether you are going for a seasonal approach to decorating or looking to match a favorite design element, you’d make a masterpiece either way!
Donna Fecteau
Both are beautiful but I think the blue and white is my favorite.
Mary Welman
I love them both but I prefer the bold multicolored quilt. I have almost always gone for brighter, bolder colors. I guess I get that from my Gram. She made a lot of her own clothes and the bolder it was the more she loved it. She also made a few quilts, but that wasn’t her passion the way it is mine.
CAROL
I LIKE THE LIGHTER COLORED VERSION. Carol
Karen
I love the bold multicolored quilt. The world needs lots of color!!!
