I have several friends with baby boys who are celebrating or about to celebrate their first birthday. We can’t be there for them but I thought I will make a little something for the boys to enjoy. 
Selecting boy-ish fabric isn’t too easy in my girly-girl fabric stash. However, I really wanted to use what I had so, I pulled out four different fabric and I think it works. The only thing I bought this time was 1m of ric-rac. 
I simply traced a simple boat on a piece of paper and used it as a template. Nothing difficult here. 
I thought those tiny boats were too cute and could be used for a quilt block. I need to do a quilt boat now. 
Joinining them together, adding some polyester fiberfill and voila: 
I added an embroidery for my little cousin. His name is “Tom” so it was nice to add a life ring for the “O”. I loved how they turned out and I hope the three little boys will like them too.
Linking up with Crazy mum quilt and Diana Rambles.

these are the cutest little gift – a lovely way to show your friends you are thinking of them and their little ones :-)
How sweet — and rewarding to use stuff that you have on hand. The little guys will love their new softie boats. : )
I think they turned out really well! I especially like the pendant fabric as part of the sail. :)
Very cute! Thanks for sharing!
What cuties! They look so cheerful. Great gifts!
Cute! You are right that the boats would make a cute appliqué or pieced quilt block – with ricrac waves perhaps.
You are very creative! Well done!
