Day Sail and Quilt Pro

Ever since this fabric line came out I have been playing with the idea of a making a nautical quilt. 


I love vintage designs and patterns, browsing ebay is especially productive and I thought this was lovely


Vintage (1930's?) Pilot's Wheel Quilt


This is a vintage pattern from the Kansas City Star although I can't make out the designer's name

Note the warning...this is for experts!

I have been using Quilt Pro since the mid 90s when it first came out and my very generous husband bought it for me. I know that it has changed a lot since then but I still find it easy to use for designing my quilts and I don't even think about making a quilt without it.
I did try EQ in several versions but I prefer the simplicity and versatility of Quiltpro.

I drafted this block





Will it become a quilt? I wonder! Probably not because it might be a little too complicated even making giant blocks but it feels like a starting point.
