Ship's Ladder quilt pattern
All aboard! Anchored in a classic geometric design buoyed by vibrant color, it's smooth sailing for the Ship's Ladder pattern. Bring the excitement and adventure of the high seas into your home – nautical know-how not required!
Any of Denyse's licensed fabric collections or patchwork panels will look great in this pattern, or use fabrics from your stash. Examples shown use Denyse’s New Bedford print fabrics (out of print). Ship's Ladder is fat-quarter friendly – an assortment of 37 print and solid fat quarters will make up to a king size quilt.
This pattern includes easy-to-follow instructions with diagrams, measurements, and full-size paper templates to make this quilt in crib/baby, twin, queen, or king size and pillow sham. This pattern instructs for piecing construction, but you can adapt the pattern for foundation paper-piecing (FPP) if you prefer.
